Carlsen didn't qualify: he didn't lose the last championship, he didn't participate in the World Cup or Grand Prix, and the organizer didn't nominate him.

But the 3 highest rated players also qualify, right?

There were two candidates who qualified by rating (Aronian and Karjakin), but they had to participate in either the World Cup or Grand Prix.
