Well hardly surprising it would have lower royalties, as someone else has already done part of the work, in creating the shared world and characters in the first place, so some of the money goes to them.
If you are reusing someone else's setting and characters, I don't think it is reasonable to get as much of the money as if you had created everything yourself.
