Dany never died, and was never laid in a pyre. Dany was more or else protected by Mirri's blood magic if i remember it correctly. so i dunno why you'd expect Jon to just hop out of a pyre. especially when we know fire hurts Jon (season 1, Jon badly burns his hand fighting an other and defending the Lord Commander Jeor Mormont). the book and the show make a very clear point of showing us that priests of the red god have the ability to bring people back from the dead (this is Beric Dondarrion's entire purpose for existing in the books and especially in the show). and then when the show went off script to make a point of having Mel meet Thoros to learn about the cleric epic, it was essentially shoving it in our face. after that point, there should have been no doubt in anyone's mind that Mel was bringing Jon back [You must be logged in to view images.
