I'm sure that would happen from time to time, but I'm also sure the Soviets would ensure they had some reliable people in positions of power within the Polish military. Both the KGB and GRU would have agents seeded throughout all the Pact militaries and civilian governments, enough that any organised rebellion would result in a few officers and politicians having "heart attacks in their sleep", and so on....

Even the rumour of Soviet agents within the ranks may be enough to keep them in line. Somebody may actually die from a true accident or illness but the rumour mill turns it into a Soviet (or even Nato) assassination.
