Nope. I mean that in most men, their upper note is related to their passagio. Most men have a top note in head voice approximately a 4th or 5th above the note where their passagio begins.
Not so with sops/mezzos/altos/countertenors. The head voice is not quite so "locked" to the chest voice, so the head can extend further up.
