It's an interesting premise, but there is a counter example in the one-man-one vote decision for congressional districts (Wesberry v Sanders). SCOTUS did not apply it to the Senate, though by the logic of the article it seems they should have. Since SCOTUS did not apply equal protection to the Senate, I think they also would not apply it to qualifications for federal offices, including requiring presidents to be natural born citizens.
