No, the connection table is in the transport layer (TCP) and as such doesn't have to be concerned about retransmission or failed members. So, the failure detection layer (FD) will at one point kick in and remove the rebooted node from the cluster. Until this happens, TCP will happily continue trying to send packets to that node, and that's what you might be seeing.
