Explanation
のも当然だ is used when you point out that a result or reaction is perfectly reasonable given a preceding situation or reason. The の nominalizes the preceding clause, and もさらに当然だ emphasizes that the outcome is expected or unsurprising. It often follows a justification or condition stated earlier in the sentence and is used to justify a reaction, action, or state as reasonable.
