I am not sure about this. In my tests even with larger values of the natural decrease (100) the happiness went to angry but not to riot after 10-20 turns.
May be I did not wait long enough but may be the natural decrease lowers the happiness only to angry not further. You may need other events like battle losses, foreign ships, plagues to push the happiness over the riot limit. But as said I am not sure about this.

In my first game playing AI opponents, another race somehow became part of my empire. They were one planet and eventually riotted. I didn't know what to do at the time so they just continued to riot over many more turns. I was at the top of the game (totally dominating it) and was sustaining no battle losses or even ship losses. Foreign ships, plagues etc. were not an issue.
