No. Calcium Hydroxide does not cause rust, however it can cause corrosion due to its high pH.
when water is added to calcium hydroxide it becomes more dilute and the PH gets closer to 7, therefore its PH would become lower.

Calcium nitrate has a neutral solution (pH=7).

Calcium hydroxide has a low solubility in water yet if the concentration of hydroxyl ions increase the pH increase.

Calcium hydroxide is a base; the pH is over 7.
The salt of calcium oxide is calcium hydroxide which is a strongly basic salt, though it is hardly soluble ( Ca(OH)2 ).
A 10% solution of calcium nitrate has a pH of about 6.0. Calcium nitrate is the primary source of water soluble calcium in hydroponics. Prolonged use in other growing media can result in a gradual increase in pH because the negatively charged nitrate ions are taken up faster than the positively charged calcium ions.
Calcium is the metal present in calcium hydroxide..
