My connection of the two is certainly rough, but both are concerned with salvation. One was salvation of animal life including people from the flood waters. The other was salvation of a people from slavery. They were both being given a new opportunity to do it right according to God.
While the ark held unclean and clean beasts, might those not be identified with the Israelites who were saved from Egypt but did not make it on into the Promised Land? This is where it is rough, but I was hoping the roughness was in my own seeing as through a glass darkly and perhaps you or another reader could help smooth it out.
The beasts did not look back to the cucumbers, leeks, garlic and onions of their former homes. They followed blindly into the ark. The Israelites seemingly had some kind of hope for a new home, but when things got rough they kept on looking back at what they remembered as good.
