Additional Information
The method to change the symbology is different in ArcGIS Pro (arcpy.mp). This is not addressed in ArcMap (arcpy.mapping).Workaround
Double-click the symbol below the first layer name to open the Symbol Selector dialog box, and change the symbology again to change the symbology of the first layer independently of the second layer.
