I think she would still do that even if she considers Yang to be somewhat family.

Remember, she told Qrow her view of the world: "The weak die, the strong live."

I think her "I'll only save you once" rule was to encourage Yang to get strong enough to stand on her own and help herself instead of expecting someone else to save her. It was her own way of teaching Yang that she can only keep living if she's strong enough.
