Yeah I read it as a continuation in a different part of the universe, presumably to make it worthy of being in the universe they'll have things like Cylons and references to the events that took place in Galactica.

Galactica would be interesting now as the original reboot took place just as television was becoming more 'serious, audiences were trusted more and the budgets were increasing. A few years later they would have likely gotten bigger budgets and been allowed to do fewer episodes per season
