I think it's common for floating caliper brakes to wear unevenly like that. I assume it's due to the fact that direct pressure is being applied to one pad and not the other. If there is any binding in the assembly that allows the caliper to move it would result in the piston pushing the one pad against the rotor while the other doesn't make as much contact.
