Yes, drum brakes (if equipped with adjusters) self-adjust. But if they are not adjusted enough after part replacement, the pedal will sink quite a bit. If you have replaced the shoes and done other work, the adjustment might be enough (if not done) to give a fair amount of travel- a really low pedal.
