30 hour rule CAN be applied on a lost day to satisfy 117, BUT, not to satisfy the contract. The contracts says we must have 1 day off IN BASE out of 7 (I don't have the exact language in front of me...). However, you can pick up flying that would be more than 6 days in a row, as long as one of those 30 hour lost days are in there somewhere. In other words, the company cannot force you to spend more than 6 days out of base, but you can trade/OT yourself into it.
Edit: To answer the original question, no - a lost day does not count towards the minimum 11 days off/month. You are considered to be on duty, and thus earning per diem during a lost day.
