Not compared to an ocean. But the sodium expectation is based on the assumption of liquid water in direct contact with the rock-- a thick layer of ice (or some other substance) at the ocean bottom might prevent this. Arctic and Antarctic seas on Earth sometimes develop ice on the bottom, I believe, so it's possible.
