So our work flow creates a new light catalog for each shoot.
Eg: June Products, July Products, August Products etc.
So I create a lightroom catalog to use as a template with smart collections pre set up etc.
Q: Is it possible to update Publisher galleries from different catalogs?
For example having a gallery "Client 1" and adding 2-3 new images each month from a June.lrcat then July.lrcat etc.

One gallery -- one catalogue.
I have no trouble feeding one publisher installation on the server from two catalogues but this works only in branches that cannot be mixed.
I have one top level autoindex (CE4 Pages' galleries/index.php). In both catalogues there is a publisher service with "Top-level galleries directory" set to "galleries".
From both LR catalogues I can publish album sets and albums into that galleries folder, but the publisher service in catalogue A is not aware of anything that has been published into there by the publisher service in catalogue B.
You may even try to create an album set from one catalogue and set the resulting directory on the server as Top-level in another catalogue's publisher service. But You must always keep in mind what You're doing. As far as I know it's undocumented.

Some time ago Matthew recommended a LR helper plugin that facilitates moving things from one LR catalogue to another. I don't remember its name, but perhaps it can help You moving things into a publishing catalogue without having to alter Your workflow to much. Its name had to do with star trek I believe ...
