Drastic change can occur peacefully. If you look at the american revolution for example. Besides the whole war with england, internally it was a rather peaceful transition.
The few token rebellions were quashed without even a shot usually (some of them personally by george washington).
Revolutions by the elite (which Ul'dahs or America's were) are far less bloody and complicated than revolutions by the masses (french, russian)

Drastic change never occurs peacefully.
But on the idea of Lolorito assuming power and the dynasty changing - there are hundreds of examples through history of noble houses coming to power the same way. I do not think this is crossing the line of believability at all.
