The more good kamma one has, the more likely one is to be reborn as a deva, and not a human, right? [This article](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/jootla/wheel414.html#ch5) says the following about devas:
> So in spite of their excellent concentration and present opulence, they are even at a disadvantage compared to human beings, who are driven by pain and frustration to seek the path to deliverance.
Later on, it says that devas actually aspire to be humans, in order to comprehend impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Does it mean that generating too much good kamma is an obstacle for following the path towards enlightenment?
