That's not really Littlefinger's game though. He just merely wants to cause discord among the realm and greatly despises the upper houses. He feels its the reason he wasn't able to marry Cat. Littlefinger is not after the realm like the other players are, but he seeks to destroy it. Varys knows this and thus lets Littlefinger play his little game since it only meets Varys' own ends.
Littlefinger wants power so he can throw that power in the faces of the Starks, lannisters, tullys, baratheons, martells, greyjoys and arryns
He wants to rule them so they have to answer small little Petyr Baelish, lord of the smallest finger. He wants them to answer to the ways they looked at him.
He doesn't concern Varys because A) he is playing into Varys' hand and B) because Varys knows he is no true threat. Not in the bigger game.
Remember when Arya eavesdropped on Varys and illyrio's conversation in GOT? Arys said something along the lines of "and god knows what littlefinger is playing at" and then immediately after he reiterates that Ned is the one who worries him the most. Now Varys who is universally accepted as the MVP in the game of thrones isn't even worried about Petyr Baelish. Varys isn't the type to disregard a person based soley on their rank at birth either. No, if Varys truly saw littlefinger as a legitimate he would have voiced that concern to Illyrio while he was asking for more "little birds" and more coin. Yet he didn't? Why? The only logical answer is that Littlefinger is just another chess piece. He may not be a pawn but he is still being controlled by the man who is actually playing the game.

I just think that Varys has figured out that he has no interest in the squabbles of King's Landing. And if the theories about Aegon and Varys being Blackfyres is true, then really Varys and Littlefinger are more or less on the same page on what they want to get done. Varys' plan is just much larger, grander, and more patient and underground than Littlefinger's is. Littlefinger is a player, but a player that the even bigger one has accounted for.
