The reality is that a number of champions of smaller leagues will always have less money than the bigger leagues - from TV money, wages that fans have to spend at clubs and sponsors who are attracted.
As more time goes by, the clubs from the smaller leagues will become more and more reliant on CL money and in turn it creates a gulf in their own domestic league due to their domestic dominance.
So do we keep the smaller league champions in the CL to help them grow to spread the quality of the teams in the CL or do we try and get the best teams into the competition and reduce the dominance/reliance of smaller league champions?
