Not really. The question is:
Can things in Fedora Coprs depend on third-party repositories to be
functional at runtime?
In Fedora proper, the answer is no. I would argue that the same policy
should hold for Coprs.
There is, however, no legal reason that I am aware of that a Copr could
not include a package which has a purely runtime dependency on something
in a third party repository. (The legal issues are questionable around
dynamic linking, and quite obvious around static linking, hence my
previous answers to those questions.)
