That would only be true if the ESC and wiring resistance were a significant fraction of the motor's resistance. Otherwise, if the motors have the same stator and rotor design, the rotors have the same strength, and the stators are both at 100% fill, the braking torque would be the same.

Correct. I have edited my previous post to match your observation.
