Genesis 6:33 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

The topic here concerns mankind.
120 years is the time left before God's striving with mankind at that time ceased.
And,in a sense, of course, all men (except Noah and family) were indeed limited to that 120 years.
Thus, no contradiction.
