That's like starting Game of Thrones at Season 7.
It's not just "starting in the middle of a series", it's starting almost at the end...after the best part of the story is well in the rear-view mirror.
IIRC, Foundation and Earth not only benefits from reading all of the Foundation books that came prior, but also all of Asimov's Robot books.

For what it's worth, I'm sure it does benefit from reading them first but you can definitely piece together the major plot points established in the preceding novels from the dialogue in the book, but they are certainly enhanced by knowing the full background.
