Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the poke war — Caitlyn's range and Lux's E+Q poke will chip you down faster than you can sustain, and Leona's engage windows are limited by Lux's root threat.
Post-6, the lane becomes more even because your R gives your team engage tools and Leona's R combined with yours creates a strong all-in that Caitlyn struggles to kite out of cleanly.

Your best pattern is to use W to block Lux's Q (the primary CC threat) and then immediately look for an all-in with Leona, since Lux is now on a long cooldown and Caitlyn has no peel.
Avoid extended poke trades — use Q to farm safely from range and wait for Leona to find an engage after Lux's key abilities are burned.

Use your wave clear to shove waves back quickly after Caitlyn pushes, denying her the ability to permanently freeze or slow-push against you — your E bounce clear is efficient enough to reset wave states.
In early levels, prioritize using Q to CS safely from range rather than pushing aggressively into Lux's poke range.

Do not use W reactively on Lux's E (the shield) — save it specifically for Lux's Q root or Caitlyn's E net, as those are the abilities that enable kill attempts on you.
Burning W on the wrong ability leaves you vulnerable to the actual lockdown that follows.
