Cooling down an oven is not a good thing, as it simply ups the power the oven control circuitry dumps into the oven to keep it hot.
The temperature, thermal mass, and conductivity of the surroundings determine how quickly an oven cools down when the heater is off. Too little cooling, and the oven control loop cannot do its job properly. As others have said, rubidium oscillator manufacturers specify them for operation within a certain range of baseplate temperatures. Best performance is often obtained near the middle of the specified window.
