About のも当然だ
Like て当然だ, the grammar point indicating that (A) is 'natural' or 'obvious', のは当然だ works in a similar way, and highlights that it is 'no wonder that (A)', or 'it is only natural that (A)'.
This construction will be seen following verbs and い-Adjectives, or な-Adjectives and nouns that are followed by な.
Compared to て当然だ, のは当然だ is slightly stronger, and separates the previous statement from what the speaker considers 'natural'. This is equivalent to the difference between 'being happy is natural' (slightly weaker), and 'it's natural that one would be happy' (slightly stronger) in English.

I’d like to share a reference about the difference beween 最もだ and 当然だ: JLPT N2 ~て当然だ ~て当たり前だ ~のももっともだ ~も同然だ | にほんごの里
From what I understood, they are equivalent (right?). If the reference is accurate, consider the possibility of addding it to the readings section
