Rear pads/shoes should outlast fronts by 2 to 1, or better, or that has been my experience. Were the pistons free in the calipers? It doesn't take much for them to drag.

My younger daughter had a Mustang that required front pads frequently, but instead of slowing down in anticipation of having to stop, she would stand the thing on it's nose when she hit the brakes. But if I remember correctly, the rear shoes lasted well over a hundred thousand. Your problem may be just one of those unusual instances. Just some thoughts.
