I think there are only 16 straights possible since you can't start with 17, 18, 19, or 20

Yes, you're right. In this case, the Powerball comes last. So increasing straights can't end with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. However, you could have wrap around straights. So 15 or 20 depending if you allow the wraparound.
