Type II RTA and Hypokalemia

I read here that the hypokalemia in RTA type II is due to the excess Hco3- in the tubular filtrate binding to the K+, thus precenting its reabsorption.

Some place else states that the hypokalemia is because of hyperaldosteronism due to the volume contraction? (which volume contraction?)

Wonder which one is correct?
