It seems to me like that sort of restriction could lead to people disengaging from the community. Generally, people getting involved in Less Wrong (either through commenting or posting) seems to be a good thing.

Would it work to just let people know that only a small number of posts will be promoted in any one period and just let them decide themselves whether to therefore wait to post later?

That makes a lot of sense. Anyone object to that?

If they are useful, shouldn't you be glad to hear objections?

I don't like it. Maybe you could give the submitters the option of allowing their post to be delayed in exchange for a better chance at promotion?

No, that's the policy that I was expecting.
