Look closely at the right photo. The body of the small spring on the left is much closer to the roller than is the small right spring. The wedge is partially down. When it retracts the rollers will move up closer to the spring. It is conceivable that they could constrict in some circumstances. By flipping the left spring over it moves it away from the roller. I don't know if the orientation has any affect on the spring tension. I was taught years ago to orient the springs so both come over the top of the pins. The situation is the same for the rear wheels though the actuation is different.
