Actually not necessarily!

To my knowledge there aren't any SPV implementations that do address
caching; they all use the peer servers in a centralized fashion every
time they connect. If those peer servers are setup to only return nodes
on one side of the fork or the other, that's all they'll connect too and
they'll never see another chain.
