Yes, it is, meaning superb or superior (outstanding performance) or unpaid (outstanding debts).

Outstanding comes from the present participle standing, but the verb to outstand comes from to stand out, an idiom for being noticeable above others, rather than the nautical term stand out to sea (sail from shore).
