I was repairing some landscaping lighting, and when I took the cover off
of the outdoor junction box, water came out. Don't know how much was in
there, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup. I'm guessing it wasn't enough to reach the
wiring connections, held together by wire nuts, or maybe it did.

Because if it had, the breaker would have tripped, right?

Not unless it is a GFCI breaker. Outdoor splice boxes and underground
splices are always wet, from condensation if not direct water entry. If the
type of box you have has threaded knockouts, try putting silicone around the
threads.
