yes, in this case it's not due to the circle of fifths, but things like, the 4th harmonic of a string, so 2 octaves up, actually vibrates a little faster than 4 times as fast, due to the string experiencing higher tension than average at the extremes of these higher modes. The platonic theory assumes that higher overtones are always exact but that's not physically precise.
