My reasoning being, that he has dragon blood in him, which in all technicality came from Akatosh. Note that the Spetims had Alatosh's blood in them. This would give our Dovahkiin a pretty powerful claim. It would also be supported if the Dovahkiin joined the Legion and helped put down the rebellion. The only reason the Dragonborn Emperor's had a claim to the throne was because of the Covenant with Akatosh. Ya know, the whole deal with the Amulet of Kings and the Dragonfires.

In the Fourth Era, the Amulet of Kings is destroyed, and the Dragonfires are rendered useless, due to the barrier between Oblivion and Nirn being sealed forever.

The Last Dragonborn has no claim to the throne.
