The diameter of the spectral pseudometric on the universal cover of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of $\mathrm{Gr}(2,p)$ is shown to be finite whenever $p$ is a prime number. On the other hand, it is shown that the diameter is infinite in the case of $\mathrm{Gr}(2k,2n)$ for all natural numbers $k<n$.
