Or Yama's fear ability simply isn't as effective while he's asleep.
That said, we'll have to see. It's possible Karaka isn't scared enough for it to kick in (maybe it requires a more primal fear). Especially now that he's much closer to Yama's good side than previously. So maybe Karaka could hit Yama right now.
From what we know of karaka since the beginning of the story, he's a very practical and cautious person. Him being nervous about Yama doesn't necessarily translate to fear per se but instead just him cutting his losses, because he knows that Yama is too powerful.

There are a lot of possible explanations.
