"Less motivated" is possible, but I don't think there are any accounts of Roman troops revolting rather than putting down an uprising with anything less than utter ferocity!
How about the Revolt of the Batavi?

They did not revolt because they had been asked to fight their own countrymen, it was simply a general rebellion against Rome. But that rebellion does seem to have been the motivation for moving auxiliaries away from their homelands.
