I listened to all of the Kingdom Valley songs I could find on YouTube, and none of them sound remotely similar. EDIT: But if what Mykonos says is true, then it's more likely that both just used a stock vocal effect.

I guess it's just a (loose) coincidence. I've heard many songs using these vocal samples before, even before Sonic '06 was even released. Heck, even I have these samples, amd a soundfont that have the voices in lots of different pitches. Nothing surprising in there. 2005 game Shadow Heart II: Covennant featured these samples in the Asmodeus boss battle music if I'm not mistaken. Too busy to be bothered to check right now.

It's far less expensive (if at all priced) than getting the rights to the original songs.

Oh wow, I didn't even have to listen to the original track, I recognized it instantly. Probably just a coincidence though. :>
