Instead of doing the individual semanage commands on each file try this 
instead.

semanage fcontext -ae /var/lib/mysql /srv/lib/mysql
restorecon -Rv /srv/lib/mysql

That should tell selinux that /var/lib/mysql and /srv/lib/mysql are to 
be treated the same and the restorecon should fix up the labels.
