The way I interpret the grooves.....they are both cut the same direction, and this will result in the top one pushing the water/dust inward - while the bottom one will push the water/dust outward.
To get them both to push the dirt outward....the grooves needed to be cut in opposite directions, and you would have to mount the shoe on the proper side to make it push outward.
Most often the squeal comes from shoes that have been subject to a very rusty drum - and the rust was removed by riding the bike and using the rear brake, and wearing the rust off. This embeds the rust into the brake shoe lining and contaminates the material. If a bit of sanding won't eliminate the squeal - then it is time for new shoes!
Okay, so, water is wiped in on top
Out on bottom
Wherever the thing drains best. In or out, top ,bottom, your choice.
Either way wiping is happening.

I never thought about that. I can see how that could happen. The 05, along with the
Instalock rear brake, it squealed. The radical shoe shaping tamed it. I don't remember what the drum looked like, but if it was strange I would probably remember. Maybe,,
