No, in this case it's clear :)
"Вівторок був учора" -> Tuesday was yesterday (Tuesday is the subject)
"Вчора був вівторок" -> Yesterday [it] was Tuesday (Yesterday or "it" is the subject)
Given a very specific intonation and given a specific context, a pre-existing conversation, the second one could mean the first one, it would emphasize that Tuesday is still the subject, just shuffled around.
Edit: WAIT
In case of п'ятниця it's "Вчора була п'ятниця", so the verb corresponds to the day of the week, not "yesterday", so... Yesterday is not a subject.... But the two sentences still do sound different... But... * leaves tired and confused *
