From the lore of the Predator species, a Predator who goes for a hunt is trying to prove they are worthy of adult status in their society. As each Predator dies in the film they fail to attain adult status in their society.

Literally, you’re right - in Latin it means “not following”. But in conventional usage, non-sequitur is more for things that are so completely out of place for the conversation.
Not a non-sequitur: “Okay, so based on this finding, [insert something topical but wrong]”.
Non-sequitur: “Okay, so that’s great, but Michigan beating Ohio State means this is irrelevant”.
(edit because I did not realize the formatting I used for my non-sequitur example caused it not to render)
