How does having smaller transistors lead to a higher clock frequency?. I am aware that if we have smaller transistors we can pack the same number of transistors into a smaller core(physically) and hence have more cores per chip. But since each core still has the same number of transistors wouldn't the power consumed stay the same and hence still limiting the clock frequency ?

I believe if you have smaller transistors, you can fit more of them into 1 processor and therefore, you get greater computing power. There is a more detailed discussion about this here.
