Perhaps "storyline" would be a better expression.
Regardless of the order of publication and chronological order they are sequels of the same book series if they are all based in the same setting, what you call them is just semantics. The Foundation books aren't related to one another very much, but it's still one book series.
What you're trying to say is they have different styles and center on different characters, but that doesn't make them different genres.
