Could Lev Kamenev have displaced both Stalin and Trotsky as the Premier of the Soviet Union?

Eventually. If Trotsky wins the initial Stalin-vs-Trotsky power struggle, Kamenev and Zinoviev are his right and left hands. You then just need that triumvirate to fall apart with Kamenev on top when the dust settles. So you're looking for a Trotsky victory that doesn't last long.
 
Kamenev is unlikely to rise for the same reason Trotsky was: he had too many ties with the Red Army and an inability to transcend fear of Bonapartism coupled with political naivete in the extreme.
