Problems I can see straight away:

It should be three reigns, not three generations. If someone has no children, and a sibling inherits, that should not let the family get an extra reign because they're the same generation.

What if no family wants to take up the role? A ruling monarch can do a lot to discourage any other family from wanting it?

It seems likely, in the end, to settle into a duopoly, where two "families" that are closely interconnected alternate being royal.
