It's not the bleeder orientation causing the problem. It is so called "new" wheel cylinders from China. The two issues I've heard about are that the rubber seal cups are too short and two, the inlet fluid holes are too far up the bore, toward the the brake shoe tangs and not sealed as a result. Since you have during your bleeding attempts, not seen fluid leaks dripping or pouring out of your brake drums, You are probably okay.
