Wheat fodmaps aren't gluten ancillaries. They both happen to be present but are otherwise independent. Gluten is perfectly fine in a low fodmap diet and almost necessary for vegetarians if they can't tolerate beans.

So no, fodmap sensitivity and gluten concentration in wheat are basically independent (there will likely be a slighy decrease of fodmaps with gluten increase but it shouldn't make a huge difference).

It seems to be somewhat of a blindspot, possibly due to low fodmap diets benefiting from the gluten free trend which itself has done a lot to equal wheat with gluten. A friend recently went on a low fodmap diet and it took a while to figure out why her doctor didn't worry about meat substitutes containing gluten and I'm quite familiar with the issue to begin with.
