Phil,
 
The customer opened and pushed back the keycover further than you'd placed it during your tuning.  The middle hinge on the back of the keycover pushed against middle C's backcheck.
You asked the customer on your cell phone to pull the keycover forward slightly which solved the problem.

seasoned grizzled vets may chime in I suppose..

The piano was 85 miles away..one way..don't ask, but it tuned 
fine..client was happy when I was done, and away I go.

I'm not more than 5 miles away and I get a call saying that middle C is 
sticking and it wasn't sticking before..yea, and it didn't stick on me 
when I was tuning either..weird.

It's a console piano, and its manufacturer is insignificant..so..why did 
Middle C stick after I was done tuning it?

Here is your only clue: the cause of the problem was in no way directly 
related to any action parts..and it's not as obvious as you think, you 
grizzled vets! I happen to catch it instantly..I got lucky.
