Is this a side effect of too big frame ?
Is your question whether needing to raise the seat indicates the frame is too large? If anything, it's an indicator that the frame is too small, and it probably isn't an indicator of that either. Seats are made to be adjusted for a reason.
In my experience, if you can put your foot down without getting off the seat, the bike is too small and/or the seat is too low, Probably not true if it's a BMX, but I don't ride those.
