Quite likely. Too much energy at the frequency of interest swamps the RF amplifier shutting the automatic gain control right down. Valid signals from the keyfob appear imperceptibly weak as they're no longer properly amplified.
Chances are the keyfob works at 2.4GHz so I think that leaves you with quite a lot of potential suspects plus the possibility it's broad spectrum noise from something faulty but you'd expect that to interfere with other equipment too.
Of course since it's a Clio it could be something simpler, perhaps your drive slopes and the slope causes the standard equipment internal water feature to run forward or back onto the central locking antenna
