Am I right to say, going from M1 Mac mini to the iMac 24" - processor spec will be technically a downgrade and around 18 months after release they're no point of replacing an M1 Mac mini with a M1 iMac until an M2 or M3 iMac is available? The only changes are slower processor by a fraction and the addition to screen, webcam, speakers and peripherals for higher tier iMac.

Well considering Apple seem to be living on selling yearly refreshes or not refreshing anything (like the iMac or Mac mini) I don't see why they would bother. I mean they left us hanging about the M* Mac Pro but gave us a Fat Mac mini with a non modular box instead and a crappy monitor with a naff webcam also not to forget a no frills M2 MacBook Air. Their R&D and product lines are going quite slow now. That MBP 13 which is hanging around like an old dead fart causes me to wonder wtf is going on? They need to seriously narrow that MacBook line up down and focus more on how jobs reinvented apple all them years ago - making a little leighway on quantity of product lines but not as big and stupid as it's become with Mac lines. It seems like quantity of quality of products that are in the line up.
