I don't think certainty necessarily leads to arrogance; rather, the arrogance is a result of being unwilling to consider other perspectives, and unwilling to change or adapt one's beliefs if they are proven no longer useful.
One can be certain, while still willing to change or adapt, should better information be presented. Humility is being willing to consider new information and different perspectives, instead of staying stuck in the now-obsolete beliefs, or being limited by only a single perspective.
