That sounds very likely.  I would imagine that fsck needs write access
to the raw disks in order to do its job, but such access is not allowed
under securelevel 2 and above.
fsck is normally run very early in the boot-sequence - before the
securelevel is raised - so in normal operation that would not be any
major problem.
