Wrong. There is no way you can justify the arguement that a higher COG is more stable in cornering. Frame design material is a good place to start your research as it discusses BB height variations and effects. Lower BBs (a larger drop from the line between front and rear wheel axles) creates a more stable ride typically used for general road riding, higher BBs are used for track, criterium and mtn bikes where banking/cornering pedal clearance is prime. Apply that knowledge to the effective BB height variances created by an eccentric.
Out of curiosity of search hits, simply using: "bottom bracket height stability" discusses this topic.
