In the Episcopal Diocese I live in, pre-Covid, whenever someone was being ordained, listed in the announcement is essentially an open invite for clergy to come and, if they do, wear red.

Could a Catholic priest attend ordination ceremonies of other Christian denominations?
 
Yes, but I would imagine there’s protocols operating at diocesan levels that govern these things.

When ++Suheil Dawani was enthroned as the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem, bishops and priests from essentially every major Christian community attended the ceremony: Eastern Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Catholics, Lutherans, etc.
 
Also, there might be an issue of the person converted away from the Catholic Church to be another church’s clergy.
As opposed to a cradle protestant becoming a minister
