“Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?”
Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the LORD's tent and to stand before the community and minister to them? — Moses reminds Korah of the Levites' actual privilege: separation from the general community, proximity to God in the tent (ohel), and ministerial responsibility. The rhetorical question suggests that Levitical service is substantial honor.
