Hi Waqar,
I see that you are not specifying the contour levels in your coding. If
that is indeed the case, then you are allowing NCL to come up with the
contour levels, and NCL might not choose the same contour levels for
each of your 6 panels. You should explicitly be setting the contour
levels. Try searching for "contour levels" in the search bar. The first
result should be the "Contour Levels" applications page. Click on that,
and take a look at example #3 on how to set your own contour levels.

(http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/contourLev.shtml)

With regards to the InfoLabel bar overlapping the longitude values, you
can either turn the InfoLabel bar off (res@cnInfoLabelOn = False), or
you can adjust the positioning by setting res@cnInfoLabelOrthogonalPosF
to say -.03:
