Yes, you can indeed replace "corollary" with "consequence" here as both words mean the results of something. Or, more specifically, something that happens because of something else. It should be noted that the term "corollary" is not one that you would hear in every day conversation. It was used in this scene to show that the character is being smart. "Consequence" is much more common. Ex: Failing the exam was a natural corollary of not studying. = Failing the exam was a natural consequence of not studying.
