It is possible to distort the drum if it gets hot enough and then the brakes are applied forcefully before the drum cools down. Are you getting any pulsing while braking? I'm not sure exactly what happens to brake fluid when it boils, but you may want to bleed the rear brake slaves or the whole system if it has been 2 years or more since the last bleed.
