Answer me this how can you tell those series had any relevance to begin with .
I understand that you are saying that a fair amount of shonen battle manga are finishing and replacing them is other genres.
That has always happen a series come to a end and they get replace by other series.
It is also much easier to find out info on shonen battle manga compare to other genres since it has more info at hand .
Who knows how many other type of series get cancel and we will never know cause no one gives a rats ass.
You say a pattern is forming but that not really the case since it takes time for new battle shonen to come out and get a foot hold .
You saying Chihayafuru (2007), KnT(2005), Bokura ga Ita (2002), Natsume, Tonari no Kaibutsukun(2008), and Ao Haru Ride beat (2011) beating up the charts.
Most of them are fairly old manga that get time to gain a foot hold .
Blue Exorcist (2009) , Attack of the Titans (2009) , FT (2006) also beating up the charts .
Your also basing this on Jump who cancel series faster than any place else .
Now if you say that Jump Going to have problem replacing the Naruto or Bleach when they done i would say your right .
But that not because there battle shonen but because they sell huge numbers compare to everything else .
Also compare to most other genres battle shonen has more pressure to sell certain numbers in jump to say alive and this is made even worst with jump rankings .
As i said the wave that replace DB , Yu Yu , Kenshin among others started 4 to 5 years later with HxH , OP , Naruto among others .
