But if a book does fit both mystery and thriller, then it would be OK to nominate for either category. But (for example) an Agatha Christie mystery is in no way a thriller.
As for SF & fantasy, there are lots of books that are one or the other and not both and many people dislike the lumping of them together. But to be honest, I think if we had to make room for something different, keep mystery, SF, & fantasy and do away with thriller.
