No, wrong use of the word.


Come•up•pance
ˌkəmˈəpəns/
nouninformal
a punishment or fate that someone deserves.
"he got his comeuppance"
synonyms: just deserts, just punishment, due, retribution, requital, what's coming to one
"the bad guys always get their comeuppance in the final scene"


"Just rewards" would have been better.
