Extremely unlikely; spin on filters are mechanically much better made than the factory cartridge filters (which are much more prone to failures). In all the years I have been changing customer's oil filters and cutting every spin on apart to check the media, I have never seen one even distorted much less collapsed. It just doesn't happen.

Your cold start oiling issue rests elsewhere (pump, oil itself, bypass pressure relief system, etc.).
