It means this. The camel is big, indeed, we know it is a big animal. And some people are also "big". Like not always in terms of size, but also social standing and etc. But there is also this established fact, that there is always someone who is bigger. The thought alone should be enough to instill some humility into every human being. Our ancestors meant to say this in this proverb.
