no. An oxymoron is where two contradictory terms are combined.

If a lion was widely known for it's dishonesty then you may get away with it. I don't think it is though.

An "honest liar" would be one.

Describing someone as "outrageously plain" is another.

A "foolish genius"

"Extremely mediocre"

Could go on a bit here.
