I sure would not spray the lath with water. Once the wall is sealed

Well, in my case, the other side of the wall is open, so the moisture
will get out. That side will get blueboard and veneer plaster later.

In any event, I'm told you have to wet the wood lath, otherwise it
will suck all the moisture out of the plaster and interfere with the
setting. The plaster is wet anyway, so the additional moisture should
be fine.
