Morphology
The sense 'to result from' is directly derivable from combining 'flow' (to move or come from a source) with 'from' (denoting source or cause); the source-motion metaphor maps neatly onto causation. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrasal verb flow from paints a simple picture: water flows away from a spring or river source. So when we say something 'flows from' something else, we mean it 'results from' or is 'caused by' that thing.
