Thanks for clarification on why you relined just one wheel. Assuming you have hooked up the "C" horseshoe link for the emergency brake since you're not anxious to pull the drum again. If so, is it possible the ebrake lining is too thick? It's hard o tell from the pictures, but it looks to be the same 3/16" thickness as the service brake linings. It's supposed to be 5/32". Perhaps this is causing the drum to heat up as opposed to the service brake adjustment?

Otherwise, Rob Doe's supposition about the roller pins not being properly seated is definitely worthy of inspection.
