From Road & Track's Q&A:
Quote:

Because caliper placement relative to the rotor is immaterial to clamping force; the considerations in caliper placement are for airflow and packaging. The front-axle packaging is typically more constrained by the steering gear, and thus calipers tend to be at the 6 and 9 o'clock positions there. Rear calipers typically face fewer placement obstacles, and then it is the parking brake cable and other packaging issues that prevail.
