This might be considered similar to the DoS vector that was also present in the HTTP Public Key Pinning proposal [1]; an adversary seizing temporary control over the server can convince clients to not request a response from the server for a certain period, or in the case of HPKP request a response that cannot possibly be fulfilled.
