I've always considered it an indicator that the person who assembled the carbs didn't quite understand what they were doing. On the other hand, the Huffaker race cars rotated the tops of their highly modified carbs by 180°, so maybe it's all a Super Secret Racer Trick TM that we're not supposed to notice.
I'm definitely guilty of not knowing what I am doing, but I can't see how the top orientation makes any difference. The top just has the bore the plunger rides in. What is important is the orientation of the slide piston and diaphram, but, that is independent of the top. There is a bleed channel, but the hole is just open to the top of the diaphram and it makes no difference if it is at 12 3 6 or 9 o'clock.
