Although you wouldn't expect that normal brake shoe wear would cause this, the loss of the lining itself on one shoe might account for it. Another possibility is the brake operating lever that operates against the brake cylinder on each side. If the pivot pin wore, became dislodged/unseated, or the fulcrum wore through, then the lever might appear to move normally, but not actually apply force to the shoes.
I'd get the rear drums off and inspect ASAP.
