That is what it sounds like to me.
Many people will really bang the table "do not adjust the brake rod lengths" but I have found that sometimes that is what you need to get the 4 wheels braking the same amount without having the lining drag when the brakes are not applied.
Having said that, I have always replaced both left and right shoes/linings on an axle at the same time, never just one wheel. You may be making it harder on yourself than it needs to be.
