[Avodah] Eitz haDaas and Adas Korach -- Same Chumrah???

So, I am in the middle of being maavir sedra, got to Bammidbar 16:24-26
and caught something strange.

Much is said about the fact that HQBH only banned eating from the Eitz
haDaas (Bereishis 2:17), whereas Chavah reports to the Nachash that they
were told "lo sokhelu memenu velo sige'u vo" (3:3).

Well here, Hashem tells Moshe to tell everyone to get away from (hei'alu)
the dwellings of Qorach, Dasan and Aviram (16:24). Yes, Moshe tells them
(26) to veer from them (suru na) "... ve'al tige'u bekhol asher lahem".

Do you think there is a connection that both cases have the added chumerah
against negi'ah?

Tir'u baTov!
