This is normal, it is to prevent someone from, recovering the files while they are open.

"Media recovery locks are held for one of two reasons: to prevent anyone from bringing a tablespace online which is under recovery or to prevent someone from attempting recovery on an online tablespace. Thus they are always present in a database as a protection mechanism"
