Moreover, it makes perfectly good sense that Leia, who is an Alderaanian princess, secretly a rebel, and also "a member of the Imperial Senate," would go on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan, and use it as a smokescreen to conduct rebel business. It does not make any sense, given what little we know of the entities and institutions in Phantom Menace, that the "Trade Federation" would blockade Naboo over a "taxation of trade routes" dispute.

Using crises and altercations as pretext for something else is permitted, but they still have to at least make sense, or it's a case of lazy storytelling.
