Morphology
The sense 'to follow in order or position' is directly derivable from combining 'come' (to arrive/move) with 'after' (subsequently/in sequence). The composition follows a common motion/order pattern found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Come after paints the picture of one event following another in time. Imagine loud thunder and then rain that comes after it, so the phrase means 'to happen after' or as a result.
