The Lodge seasoning procedure is a multiple-step process in which the seasoning oil is applied via an electrostatic spray system that coats the cookware, then it's baked in commercial ovens at very high temperatures. Sometimes during this process, the seasoning oil can collect and create a bubble or slight drip at the bottom of the pan as it's hanging through the production process. And that in turn can turn brown as it's processed through the seasoning ovens. This brown spot is not rust but in fact, carbonised seasoning and will darken with use. The factory seasoning process makes Lodge cast iron products ready to use right out of the box, and the product over time Just keeps getting better.
