From a cryptography standpoint, could this hint at attack vectors for things like discrete log problems? I've only learned of the math behind that myself recently, not sure what implications having a "topographical map of the primes" could have, especially if the pattern is relf-repeating regardless of the size of the primes.

Yes, but only up to a certain point. Larger semiprimes are still a pita to get the primes out of.
