Photoshop contrast adjustment creates color cast - how to fix?

I used a local curves adjustment set to "Strong contrast" to make the space shuttle "pop" in a particular shot. I looked it so much I copied that adjustment layer to the rest of the launch sequence. I then realized that as I went earlier in the sequence (20 seconds in real time at most) each successive photo developed a blue color cast from the contrast adjustment. I tried a luminosity blend hoping that would take the color out but no change.

Ideas as to why? And best way to correct?

PS: it a local adjustment with a layer mask if that matters

PPS: It's a tiff file that was sent from lightroom with the proper white balance.
