"Наоборот здравому смыслу" sounds very odd. Googling shows that it is used by Dostoevsky, but you get ~1000 results on that phrase vs ~2 million on "Вопреки здравому смыслу".

Of course. "Наоборот" is an adverb with no government, as far as I know. It may be used as a translation for "contrary" in phrases like "quite the contrary" or as an introduction phrase "On the contrary, ...". It is also used in "... и наоборот" ("... and vice versa.")
"Вопреки" (technically, a preposition) is the correct Russian counterpart for your sentence, which has a "contrary to" in it.
