You just need a custom :sitemap-function.
The default `org-publish-sitemap-default' flattens the hierarchy.

From the manual:

‘:sitemap-function’
     Plug-in function to use for generation of the sitemap.  It is
     called with two arguments: the title of the site-map and a
     representation of the files and directories involved in the project
     as a nested list, which can further be transformed using
     ‘org-list-to-generic’, ‘org-list-to-subtree’ and alike.  Default
     value generates a plain list of links to all files in the project.

You may create a function similar to `org-publish-sitemap-default' but
using `org-list-to-subtree' instead of `org-list-to-org'

Yes, it will. It is indeed not something you want in your use case.
