Not necessarily. Visualize that I begin my turn over a field where
the air is rising slightly. The rest of my turn is over another area
(lake perhaps) where the air is static. I am not descending through
the rising column yet I manage to hit my own wake because it was held
in place.

Since these would be very unusual circumstances, they cannot substantiate the
claim that pilots routinely meet their own wakes in 360-degree turns.
