One thing at a time.

You say that you have good pedal, I presume you are not “pumping” the brakes to get them to hold, so no, the worn drum theory isn’t the problem. As far as back pressure in the cylinder, this would have to be caused by spring tension returning the drum shoes or pressure from a front caliper piston being pushed back into its bore. The later is a possibility if you have a warped rotor, however I’m thinking it would have to warped so bad that you would have a very noticeable “pulse” in your break pedal when you apply your brakes.

Go with Allen’s comment, make sure the level is correct and have someone work the brakes. You should see the return back to the reservoir and make a small fountain. Make sure the gasket is flat in the cover and installed properly allowing it to “suck down” into the reservoir as the brakes wear. The spring clip that holds the cover should really snap down tight on the cover. If this all looks good, you likely need a new master cylinder.
