The connection to Galactus arises from the fact that their unidentified reality, dubbed Earth-TRN566 here, is where a crisis with the M'Kraan Crystal therein caused the eventual collapse of the Sixth Infinty, which led to the birth to the Seventh Cosmos. They might be said to take place in the previous universe. But it has been decided on the previous discussion that "Earth-0", the previous universe, had (allegedly) been retconned to be the 6th iteration of Earth-616 (I'm still not convinced).

Consequently, that retcons those statements with "Earth-616" meaning "7th iteration Earth-616" (the concept of "6th iteration Earth-616" wasn't existing back then). That's the point of the previous discussion: the retcon/development of the previous universe status.

In any case, the handbook correction confirm the link between the Adventures of X-Men and Galactus.

They don't take place in "Earth-616" as in "7th iteration Earth-616" is what has to be understood, in the light of the alleged retcon decided on the wikia

(I'm not sure the reality designation "Earth-616" is ever used, that said)

There is never been a mention of another reality, and the handbook correction on marvel.com confirms that the theory of an alternate reality has no support:
 * "People have argued that the statements about the Phoenix Force are from an alternate reality. That is one interpretation, certainly, but the official interpretation is that it is the reality that existed before the current multiverse.";
 * "So, the implication is that the events of that series took place in the universe before the current one.";
 * " There is nothing that actually states it to be an alternate reality, and there is no evidence that suggests that there was not an Earth in the previous universe."

(I'm not sure if this (the point on Adventures' series not happening in Earth-616 and/or the fact "Earth-TRN566" would be a second reality of the Sixth Infinity) is what you meant in your message)

Also, on the Phoenix matter: "Galan would not have even been remotely aware of the Phoenix Force's involvement, and the Phoenix Force likely would not have recognized Galactus as the former Galan. Plus, some 15 billion years passed, so memories may be a little rusty."

Regarding the decision of having the previous universe classified as the 6th iteration of Earth-616, regarding the handbook correction, the absence of contradictory statements, what should appear logical (it's even more facts than logic) here is the following:
 * , like the other Galactus origin story comics, is part of "Earth-0", the universe before Earth-616.
 * "Earth-0" is retconned/moved to Earth-616 as its sixth iteration.
 * There is no need for Earth-TRN566.
