Default Theoretical backdoor draw PLO question

Just pondering:

Are there any PLO situations where it'd be right to call a pot bet on the flop with no hand and no draw, but the possibility of a very strong draw given the right turn card?

For instance lets say you had K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
and the flop came
j [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

You have essentially nothing, but a high heart or spade could easily give you a pair, big wrap and (non-nut) flush draw - eg the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] would give you (I think) a 17-out straight draw and the 2nd nut flush draw, the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] would give you a 9-out nut straight draw and the nut flush draw etc. Are there any situations in which you should play on and if so, what would they be (position, depth of money, number of players involved etc), and how might you play it?
Sorry if this an obvious yes or no.
