She raised him for a while, I don't think she would change that fast. I think this is a writer thing.

Maybe they couldn't have kids then.

when it's the same bloodline the first born is always the heir, but in this case the older sibling is not part of that line so the rules change. the throne then goes to the biological first born which is lion-o. this sort of situation is not very common but in most royal families this is how it would most likely go down.
even if lion-o never existed tygra may not have been the automatic next in line. if claudus had a brother he may haved claimed the throne since tygra was adopted. but ultimately it's up to whoever is the king and who he wants to be his heir. kings usually get what they want, and it seems like claudus was ok with tygra being king since he had no biological sons.
