Ron, years ago we use to have to put 1/8" to 3/16" bevel on the leading and trailing edge of shoes to help with that sometimes, also I wouldn't run both long shoes on the rear but I would in front. We also would take a hack saw and put a diamond pattern across the face of the shoes spaced out about an inch then turn saw other direction come back the same distance, go about 1/4 to 1/3 into shoe surface be careful on riveted shoes for depth, this helps chase some of the heat out. Try taking 80 grit sand paper and scuff rear shoes and drums then clean well with brake clean before you go out again, it's possible you had oily finger prints on one or other.
Good Luck
