Morphology
The meaning 'a regular source of income' is directly derivable from combining 'revenue' (income) with 'stream' (a steady flow). The metaphor of a 'stream' of money is common cross-linguistically and follows a transparent noun+noun compositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely understand the MWE.
Etymology
Revenue stream comes from a simple picture: revenue is the money a business earns and a stream is a steady flow of water, so imagine money flowing into a company like a small river. That's why it means a regular 'source of income'.
