The story will continue in Shaman King SKY at some point in the near future. Takei has been revealing it for like a year now.

I know why Flowers changed to Super Star but why end Super Star if Hana is still the protagonist?

I always find it fascinating how many magazines Hiroyuki Takei burned through on just one ongoing story.

Is it due to low readership or just constant creative differences going on?

Shueisha keeps moving flowers/stars to magazines that are dying, hoping that because he has a cult following, that his readers can revive those magazines.
That of course didn't happen.

Kind of, but not really. First, Shueisha only originally published Shaman King Flowers. Also, Flowers ran for a little over two whole years in Jump X before that magazine was killed off, so it's tough to tell if putting it there was an attempt to "revive" Jump X, if only because I imagine Shueisha didn't have that magazine on the chopping block for a whole two+ years.
Second, Shaman King The Super Star was originally published by Kodansha in Shonen Magazine Edge, where it ran for a little over five years before that magazine was killed off. Again, I highly doubt that Kodansha was considering killing off Shonen Edge for over five years, hoping that a new Shaman King manga would keep it alive. Then there's the fact that Super Star finished up in Magazine Pocket, which is still around.
Honestly, this just seems more like a simple case of constant bad luck for the Shaman King franchise than anything purely intentional.
