No.

Trucks can develop static charges when moving down the highway
at high speed but they used to install chains that dragged on the
ground to dissipate the charge.  Chains are no longer used because
truck tires are made to be conductive and will dissipate any
charge.

A grounded heat sink cannot develop a static charge.

Here is a post on reddit which describes the boundary layer
effects:

This is an excellent description and one of the best that I
have seen.

The boundary layer can be very significant.  It's why they
add "dimples" to golf balls.
