Well, IIRC, the contacts are copper, and copper corrodes, so it wouldn't rust. Also, yes, any kind of water, be it fro myour breath, windex or rubbing alcohol will cause additional corrosion in the connectors.
PROTIP: Water vapor is in the air
So you can't prevent it.
Best thing to do, IMO, is use isopropyll alcohol (the less diluted, the better; I use 91% which is easily available at drug stores, and I use 97% from time to time, which is available at electronic supply stores and online). Just clean the crap out the connectors and the inside, done.
With that, disabled lockout chip and a new kung-fu grip connector, everything works, first time, everytime, except for Punch Out and Metroid.
Hope that helps!
