Do you know what a bottleneck is? It means you have a component in your system limiting the performance of another component. An i7 6700k should be able to fully utilize a gtx 970 or 980 ti, in most games with proper sli support it would be able to mostly utilize two 980 ti's. So yes I guess a 970 will bottleneck an i7 6700k technically but so will a 980 ti, the only time the gpu wont be the bottleneck is when the cpu is the one holding back the gpu which is not going to happen with a modern intel i7 cpu in anything thats properly optimized to use the cpu.
