If the http version is live and indexable, that can work. If the http version isn’t reachable for Google then they’ll ignore the canonical signal.

All in all it’s a bit of a useless scenario though. Point your canonical to the one true canonical location. If ever you stop SSL, a site-wide 301 redirect to HTTP will do the trick.

Right now, I do this since I may change the domain name and do not
want to keep paying for a SLL certificate just the redirect the indexed
SSL results to the new domain.
