CO is 100% in the right on this one. Since CO did not issue the ticket to IST (and, I'm assuming that this was not a conjunction ticket of some kind), the airline is not liable for the failure of another carrier to deliver you to MUC in time to complete your trip.
Unfortunately, this is one of the risks you have to accept when booking multiple tickets for a single trip. To be completely honest, CO is doing you a favor by still allowing you to use the ticket to continue on, albeit with a change fee -- some airlines would have deemed the ticket worthless and forced you to buy a new ticket altogether.

Avek00 is absolutely right IHMO. Yet if it was me I would feel that it wasn't all my fault either and if CO had a seat, but not in the right fare catagory, and didn't let me take it I would be none to happy with CO. This means that I would avoid CO in the future as I wouldn't be happy with their perfectly legal solution to my problem.
