Would this max-src-conn 15 and me trying to access webmin cause a lock out as it would have taken me only one attempt to log in.
How many max-src-conn [i.e connections] does a web page like webmin generate.

I don't know anything about webmin, however, my money is on the max-src-conn-rate that got you banned.
Say you have "max-src-conn-rate 3/5", that means that if there are 3 (or more) connections made over a 5 second period, that address gets put into the bruteforce table.
