The reasoning behind the difference in the pot-sizes is to prevent the leading edge of the pad, getting eaten away faster than the trailing edge, looked at it from the direction of rotation of the rotor.
To do this they made the leading pots small and then going bigger towards the back...

so to conclude, it is possible to mount a stock trailing caliper in front of the axle by moving it over to the opposing wheel, and still have the bleed outlet at the top. The important part is not whether it's in front or behind the axle, it's the direction of rotation.... and always the smallest piston should see the rotor first.
