As you can see the bar above your Pokemon is more or less full depending on the evolution. This is basically because the more evolved Pokemon has a higher potential for its upper-limit on Combat Power.

So the reason it costs less after you evolved it is because you are further from filling that bar completely. As you get closer to the upper-limit on Combat Power, the Stardust and candy costs go up.

This upper-limit is also determined based on your current level, and the upper-limit will be higher after you have leveled.
