You never know what Devoe was planning. Remember: he orchestrated and planned for EVERY. SINGLE. LITTLE. EVENT TO HAPPEN, DOWN TO THE SMALLEST UNIT OF TIME, WHICH IS INFINITESIMALLY DIVISIBLE AND SMALL. Barry opened another Speed Force portal LITERALLY NEXT TO JOE AND OTHER PEOPLE. They may not turn those people or Joe into metahumans though, as we already have a lot on our plate. That's basically saying you turn into a metahuman when a gigantic Speed Force portal is opened 15 feet above you, but you don't turn into a metahuman when a human-sized Speed Force portal opens literally touching you...
