I don't think so. While Akatosh has more investment than Auriel, Alduin wasn't tryin to devour the world, he wanted to rule it. Akatosh created the Dragonborn line to force Alduin to devour the world. Alduin's purpose also isn't really to destroy Nirn. It's to consume creation and restart time. Alduin represents the end of time, which is necessary. If Aka really wanted to destroy Alduin, he would let him be consumed by the Dragonborn.
