Nope, Schadenfreude is something different. It is when you are happy that others are experiencing harm or detriment.
But to be fair, Leidenschaft is closely related in meaning to 'leiden können' (to like), which itself has no related verb or noun other than Leidenschaft and is probably derived from leiden (to suffer) in some obscure way that is buried somewhere in history.
