RBMK wasn't in hard containment.

With a nuclear meltdown it won't matter what kind of containment you have. Eventually the vessel will fail. Right now the seawater being poured is only buying time but it will destroy what remains of any machinery required to provide a constant cooling medium to the core.
Unless a way can be found to provide desalinized cooling water, a melt down of the core is all but inevitable.
