Are the brake mounts positioned there to get less turbolence from the wheel spinning?

Behind the fork is more aero than in front of the fork because.. probably doesn't mess up the airflow before it passes over the front of the fork blade or frame as much but I'm not aeronerd enough.

Sure but why the mounts are so low? I thought maybe because at that height the speed of the wheel spinning is lower compared to traditional positions closer to the tyre thus creating less interference and turbulence with the mounts themselves?
