Comments

Using only base-6 digits 0,1,2,3,4,5, let s be a palindrome and put a(1) = s. Let a(2) be the least palindromic prime having s in the middle; for n > 2, let a(n) be the least palindromic prime have a(n-1) in the middle. Then (a(n)) is the sequence of minimal nested palindromic base-6 primes with seed s.

Example

a(3) = 11511 is the least base-6 prime having a(2) = 151 in its middle.
Triangular format:
        5
       151
      11511
     5115115
   13511511531
  5135115115315

Mathematica

s = {5}; base = 6; z = 20; Do[NestWhile[# + 1 &, 1, ! PrimeQ[tmp = FromDigits[Join[#, IntegerDigits[Last[s]], Reverse[#]] &[IntegerDigits[#, base]], base]] &];
AppendTo[s, FromDigits[IntegerDigits[tmp, base]]], {z}]; s  (* A262655 *)
Map[FromDigits[ToString[#], base] &, s]  (* A262656 *)
