I heard that idea before, but I cannot agree. When the two terms are used in speaking of the same thing as in the examples I provided, they are simply different titles for the one kingdom. Matthew usually uses one instead of the other. But the same parables in varying gospels use the two terms interchangeably when you compare each gospel version of the parable with the other's.
