Not exactly. The loads are high due to the diamter the braking loads act over the hub flange. If you had a symmetrical disc brake hub the situation would be the same. the tension changes on the rotor side is not proportional to the static spoke tension. The tension changes will be dependant on the torque applied just like on a rim brake rear wheel with the exception that unless your chris hoy you cant apply disc brake torque when pedalling.
