Did I even mention "frequency"? No. So why are you confusing the issue by inserting it into the conversation? We were discussing capacity.

There are really three ways you can view capacity. One is simply how many passengers a bus will hold.

Or you can consider how many passengers can be carried within a given period of time (assuming buses are evenly spaced) with a given headway as buses pass a specific point.

The third way of looking at capacity and what I was referring to is the number of passengers that can be carried on an an entire route within a given time period and that is dependent on turnover. If the turnover is five fold, the route can serve five times as many passengers with the same level of service than if there is zero turnover. So the capacity of the route is five times greater. More people can be serviced, hence the capacity of the route is greater.
