You've got osmosis wrong. Water moves from low concentration to high concentration in the case of salt water and other osmosis situations. This works to equalize the salt concentration by diluting the high concentration while concentrating the plain waters salt.
Hot and cold water wouldn't osmose. There is no osmotic pressure in that case, rather convexion and conduction equalize temperatures.
It's the water that moves, not the salt. Same for other osmosis systems.
