I don't see anything on KE's website to indicate that limitation. The only listed parameter is miles flown.
On an unrelated note, it's worth noting that SA will grant Lifetime Platinum not only for 6 years of Platinum status, but also for 720,000 Tier Miles acquired over 4-6 consecutive years. At 6 years it balances out to qualifying for Plat normally, but if you can average 180,000 Tier Miles in four years you will get lifetime *A Gold that way. Not quite as good a deal as OZ, but still a solid option especially if you fly to Africa at all.
