Say you increase the base CD of Javelin Toss so that at max cooldown, it's 5 seconds CD instead of 3. That means that you can only use Javelin Toss 3 times over a period of 15 seconds rather than 5.

Given that Javelin Toss is Nidalee's primary source of damage, you would be reducing her overall DPS by 40%. That's what that has to do with the cooldown of the spell.
