Coconut yoghurt is fermented with live cultures, which may produce histamine during the culturing process.
The bacterial cultures used to ferment coconut yoghurt may produce histamine, depending on which strains are present — the same consideration that applies to dairy-based yoghurts.

Live cultures and histamine — some lactic acid bacteria produce histamine during fermentation; whether a particular coconut yoghurt does depends on the specific strains used, which varies by brand
-
Compared to coconut cream — plain coconut cream, which isn't fermented, would typically be much lower in histamine than coconut yoghurt
If you enjoy the probiotic benefits, starting with a small amount and seeing how you respond is a reasonable approach.
