Corks will not dry out. Bottle is full of liquid. Has a small amount of headspace. Humidity in that headspace is 100%. Pretty common sense really.
However, all the wineries do it . So there must be a reason.

If you store it right side up, the cork will shrink in size which means air can seep in and cause oxidation.
