The "cost to rollback blocks" is a cost in computational power (to run a 51% attack), _not_ the cost of the block rewards

In theory a higher block reward will incentivize and allow for greater computational power to be thrown at it, thereby increasing the cost to attack it.

The only way to measure that is by looking at expense over longer timescales.
