I shot some video with my mavic pro in 4k/30. I edited it down to a 42 second clip added some music and rendered it out in 4k then again in 1080. The 4k file size is 316 mb and the HD file is 313 mb. i thought the file sizes would be significantly larger on the 4k but its only 3mb larger. Does this make sense?
 
All depends on your settings. If you configure your program for the same datarate then they'll be the same size.
Point is you can typically use a lower datarate to get similar visual quality in a smaller resolution.
