Sure, but more likely caused by an inexperienced pilot doing a hot wheel landing and trying to slow down with intentional braking.

Someone I knew put a Stearman on its back doing just that before I had a chance to fly it. Of course the pilot will blame a stuck brake in an attempt to save face. If the brakes were stuck on that should have been obvious at takeoff and they don't normally become stuck on in flight.
