Let's take, for example, a Human monk.
The feat has a prerequisite of one or more natural weapon.
A human monk doesn't have any.
His unarmed strike is considered a natural weapon for the purpose of certain spells and effects, but it isn't actually a natural weapon.
Oddly, if a minotaur monk, for example (who has the prerequisite) took the feat, the 'considered a natural weapon' clause would probably let him apply it to his unarmed strike.
But the human monk doesn't qualify for the feat, so he can't exploit the same weirdness.

For what it's worth, I agree with Egres and Caliban on this one.
A human monk does not have one or more natural weapons, and thus does not meet the prerequisites of the feat.
A minotaur monk has one or more natural weapons, and thus meets the prerequisites. Since the feat has an effect that improves a natural weapon, the monk's unarmed strike is considered a natural weapon for purposes of the effect (but not otherwise), and thus the minotaur monk can improve his unarmed strike with Improved Natural Attack, where the human monk cannot.
