Possible but unlikely - the high current that would result in the (grounded) spare wheel touching the positive terminal would likely result in: -

1. welding or...
2. lots of heat or...
3. a fire, or...
4. obvious arc-induced damage to bolts etc.

Or even all four!

Clearly, none of this has happened in your case - it all looks ok.
