Yes. If there are numerous users on both sides reverting, then the page 
should be protected. But if clearly one side has many users reverting 
one or two users' edits, either those users are in the wrong (and thus 
probably should step up discussion on the talk page) or malicious 
vandals have ganged up (in which case, things are likely to escalate to 
the level which would require page protection). So in the end, there's 
no harm done. Quite often, as counter-intuitive as it may seem, might 
does make right (or in this case, lead to an ending which will force 
consensus).
