While metal conducts it doesn’t conduct equally. By physics at least, Cait’s lightning would travel along the critter’s exterior to ground. Adam, ungrounded as he is, wouldn’t be in the path of travel.
By that same physics however, lightning would be close to useless against a metal-armored creature for the same reason.
Throw “because gods” into the equation, Cait’s zeusian lightning might not behave strictly by physics.
Frankly I wouldn’t think it’s worth the risk anyway, if not because of the logical you mentioned, but because Cait still isn’t that great of a shot, and could hit Adam dead on regardless of conductivity of either him or the metal dog.

Actually Adam is perfectly safe.
