Please use the word brake, it's quite clear that you are not talking about breakers.
On the other hand cooling breakers with a bucket of water would be quite interesting on an aircraft.

A brake stops the plane from rolling, for example the parking brake.

A breaker on the other hand is an electrical device to break electrical current.
Breakers prevent electrical fires by tripping if a device under load uses too much power.

This link seems relevant:

So apparently cooling with water mist is ok. And why wouldn't it be the aircraft operate in heavy rain sometimes. Granted that is not quite the same.
