Yes: both other kings and uncrowned pieces can jump and remove the opponent's kings from the board. The only difference in ruling is that the smaller uncrowned piece cannot move backwards to do so; whereas kings can move or take in any direction.
In fact, if the smaller piece does not take a king that is available for 'the taking', he may be removed or "huffed" from the board for 'not taking'.
Whether you are a small piece or a king, you are required to take any adjacent piece that could be jumped. That is a fundamental rule for draughts, and can be used as a basic 'given' in the strategy of play in that game.
