im kin with Nigel Uno from kids next door from the normal canon ((the original series)) but is it weird that i dont really feel a connection to the same character as a different canonical age ((teen)) and in a different series ((galactic kids next door))?
It doesn’t make you weird. My belief is that the phenomenon of fictionkin from there being multiple universes. Infinite universes, even. For every universe, there are a million parallel universes that happened almost the same, but not quite.
If you don’t feel a connection to the same character from later down their timeline as shown in fiction, then its because their life as you knew it diverged and took a different path. Where one thing happened on screen, something else happened for you.
In the epilogue of Digimon 02, it says that Miyako and Ken had several children. In my timeline, we didn’t have any kids, and we divorced after a few years of marriage.
So its totally possible for you to have a kin identity that has some experiences from your canon and not others.

I originally misread your questions and thought that you were asking if it was weird that you DO feel a connection to the same character. Here’s my original answer.
If you’re Nigel Uno, then you’re Nigel Uno at every age. From birth to death, or divine assumption, or however his life ended.
In Digimon 02, we only see about a year of Ken Ichijouji’s life, and then a distance glimpse of years in the future. However, I have memories both as a young child, and as an older teen, and an adult, both before and after the time of the ‘epilogue’. His whole life is part of me, and part of who I am.
If you’re fictionkin, you’re not just linked with a character as they’re shown in a cartoon or book, or whatever. You’re linked with a real person, who lived and breathed, and had hopes, joys, fears and ambitions, far beyond what was likely shown in any fiction that happens to portray a part of your life.
Embrace the parts of yourself that weren’t shown on screen. The lonely nights with hot cocoa. The smell of the rain on the grass of the front lawn of the house where you grew up. That time your father embarrassed gave you ‘the talk’. The crooked half smile of a friend who wasn’t there at the time of your life shown on screen. Its all a part of you. Its all important.
