If Bwonsamdi doesn't appear after Rezan yells for him, abandoning the quest and picking it up again should fix it.

Also if Bwonsamdi doesn't give you Rastakhan's soul, drop quest and pick it up again to reset.
There seems to be several spoilers in this dialog. I love the way blizz has tied together these quest lines and told a good story.
Spoiler
- Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but Bwonsamdi says to Rezan "I'll be seein' ya in good time". You can assume he's talking about the King, but maybe he's talking about Rezan being dead soon.
- At the end of Rezan's dialogue he says "My priests call me back to my temple". It's because they're under attack and I assume he goes back to a trap.

What to do
Description
Jol's remedy healed Rastakhan's flesh. But his spirit is still lost. Dere is only one thing stopping him now. Death. He is walking in Bwonsamdi's shadow. For most, dere would be nothing to be done. But... he is bound to another loa. A loa who gives life to his faithful. You must call on Rezan, loa of kings, and ask him to claim back Rastakhan's soul. Up de path, you will find my tent. Place dis idol and wait dere. If we are lucky, he will aid us. If not... It was nice knowing you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mending Body and Soul
Good. You have brought me the last ingredients I will need to concoct a solution to close the king's wounds. You are not a moment too soon. He is fading. I am not comfortable working at an elevated pace, but the situation requires it. You must be my hands, for I am very slow.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Do you see de ship out in de bay, <name>? Dat is my flagship, Rastakhan's Might. It is not here under my orders. We will deal with de Prophet Zul in good time. For now, those who took my vessel must pay. You are to bring me de head of Windcaller Ula'jan.
