Consider that they have a crystal as a fly-wheel oscillator, so if that does a frequency jump, it will show, but be tracked in. If the oscillator does a phase-jump, it will show too. If there is other issues in the tracking-loop, it will show.
So, yes. This is true for any passive atomic clock. I'm sure active hydrogen masers can have similar effects.
