Is there any merit by a university HR department in rejecting staff because two number articles for the promotion application were published by the same journal issue series in separate volumes?

My sense is that publishing in the same journal all the time may be a real cause for suspicion to university promotion committees, though many authorities in psychology or other discplines can be seen to stick to the same journal for various publications. These are published because their worth contributes to the strength and reputation of the journal. However, if publishing occurs in a known-to-be "easy" journal or pay-a-fee and publish one, here is a case for legitimate rejection by promotion bodies. Peer-review makes the strength and reputation of journals. Some of them boast about a high rate of rejection as a criterion for scientific rigor.
