Warp Beam Turning in the Opposite Direction it Usually Does?

Weird question here… When I warped my last project (the rainbow warp), the warp went over the back beam and the warp beam rotated towards the back beam. Somehow, when I started beaming the warp for my new rep weave project (black, white, gray and red), the warp went over the back beam, but the warp beam seems to rotate towards the castle instead.

I did take the back beam apart to thread the heddles, but that shouldn’t change the direction the warp beam rotates, right? I have a friction brake on my Macomber, if that helps.

Does it matter if the warp travels this way?
