But that's a waste paying for both the place in Kyoto and temple lodgings.

You could spend 1 day seeing Nara, return to Kyoto, then next day travel to Koya san as a day trip and back to Kyoto that evening. That's a lot of extra time riding trains, though, so much so that it might not be worthwhile. I'd estimate Kyoto to Koya san is about 3 hours each way by train, perhaps a bit more because of the need to change trains.... so that's 6 hours of train travel in 1 day. That's a lot.
Yes I agree, I don't want to spend for extra lodging. Definitely would be better to make a separate day trip to Koya san. I still would love to go, it looks so awesome there!
