In high caps everyone wants the same players, so in theory a lot more hinges on the relatively random outcomes of the draft. More randomness means skill is less determinative, which means it's harder to win consistently. At least that's why I assumed he qualified it like that. At low caps you're not as likely to miss on a ton of your guys in the draft, and even if you do, the options for replacing them are plentiful.
That said, I have two $140 teams and a $200 under my belt, out of the aforementioned 11 (not sure if $140 qualifies as high cap or not). The $140 teams were a finals loss and 101-win semis loss. The $200 I lost the wildcard on tiebreakers but honestly that was overachieving. But I'm in two ongoing $200 leagues currently and wrecking them both, 86-52 and 30-15. The former I somehow managed to land both Ruth and Bonds and was last in waivers, the latter I was first in waivers. So we'll see, maybe high caps will drag me down eventually but right now not so much.
