No. Do you know what a duel is? Kite vs Pitou wasn't a duel, it was just a regular fight that happened to happen because Pitou spotted Kite, and if we go down the path of guessing, Kite had no way of avoiding because he was burdened by Gon & Killua. Nor any way of winning because he lost his arm protecting Gon & Killua. Uvo didn't walk into a trap, he walked into a duel. And it was a perfectly honourable one, as far as any duel between different nen users can be. Of course only an idiot or other sort of person wanting die enters a duel without the will to win, but also nobody (sane) enters a duel without the understanding that death is also possible. Uvo even told Kurapika to kill him once it was clear he had lost (but hadn't died yet). That's what a real fighter is like. Kite fell long before he got anywhere near his real objective, totally uselessly.

Kite fell because he was forced into a duel by a fighter a hell of alot stronger than Kurapika. A monster with the ability to detect enemies at a colossal range and cover a huge amount of distance in a single leap. How the hell is he supposed to even get close to the queen with a shitload of Ants crawling around and get away with it? You make it sound like he could just prance in there without getting detected, slit the queen's throat and just walk out without any problems. Also, Uvogin's fight was as much a trap as it was a duel. Uvo's 'mission' was to eliminate a threat to the spiders (in Kurapika). Failing to do so actually had huge repercussions because it forced the spiders to get sucked into a full on confrontation with the chain user, which resulted in the death of Pakunoda and Chrollo losing his powers.
