Yes, the analogy works. "Venal" refers to being open to bribery or corruption, which is an unfavorable trait, while "cogent" describes arguments that are clear, convincing, and compelling, which is a favorable quality. Thus, just as venal is associated with a negative connotation, cogent is associated with a positive one, making the relationships parallel.
