First, you should never use soap unless you're trying to strip the seasoning.
Second, you didn't dry it, did you? You must dry cast iron THOROUGHLY and IMMEDIATELY. If it was fresh rust, you very likely could have used a scrubber pad and scrubbed it clean.
Whenever I actually do a wash, I'll throw it in a hot oven or on the stovetop for 10 minutes to get any last it of remaining moisture.
