There is a certain degree of overlap alright; *everyone* who has the relevant SkyTeam status to obtain lounge access and extra luggage also gets the SkyPriority services. But not everybody with SkyPriority gets lounge access or an extra bag; those are tied specifically to having status and are not tied to having SkyPriority.
The graphic I included above for BHX's SkyPriority services showd you the only benefits that come with SkyPriority
