    Yes, the above terms will be much similar.

    Explanation:

    The term 'closest evolutionary relationship' reflects the organism or species which were the closest to different species in a phylogeny.

    Most common ancestor also describes the ancestor from which two different organisms might have evolved.

    Both the terms 'closest evolutionary relationship' and 'most common ancestor' show the common ancestors in a phylogenetic lineage. Hence, on evolutionary levels, both these terms have similar meanings and are often used to describe phylogenetic lineages.
