If he has fore knowledge of the potential of his client is to become aroused, he has some responsibility in deciding whether to continue or not, seems to me. The point of a massage is therapy, not arousal, unless it's one of "those" massage parlors. The clients aren't supposed to be turned on by the process any more than women are supposed to be turned on by gynecologists or swim students are supposed to be turned on by swim instructors. Yes, it happens sometimes when the client is, shall we say, er, disoriented. Or perhaps repressed. But there's no reason to expect that a normal gay man would be turned on by our masseur any more than a normal woman would be. The client would just want the cramped calf fixed. People manage to touch each other all the time for practical purposes without anyone getting turned on. At least people past puberty manage to do so. Our masseur, IMO, needs to look out for his own reaction, not that of his clients.
