Because it was a different production company and they didn't actually get the rights to make a sequel to the original film.
They used public domain material from the books. The only thing from the original film they paid to use was the ruby slippers, which cost them a pretty penny.

In the book the slippers were silver. MGM did red to take advantage of technicolor
