Yes, but not necessarily. Since the wheel is dished, the drive side spokes are necessarily going to be under higher tension than the left side spokes. Whether the drive side spokes are properly tensioned, or are suffering metal fatigue as well, I can't speculate; but evidently they are not yet fatigued to the breaking point (which is a good sign).
