Means the pads aren't going to auto adjust for wear (possibly initial set up if new) as the arm returning all the way allows the fluid in the reservoir through, usually letting the arm go back and pumping the brakes a few times will sort this if it's the issue. Setting these brakes up wrong like this is pretty common.
