The adjustment nut(s) on the MC pushrod might be adjusted tightly enough that the system doesn't allow for thermal expansion.

The shoe adjusters might also be adjusted with less 'slack' than they need.

If there's a chance that it's not related to heat but to use, the insides of the flex lines - one to each front wheel, one to the rear axle - may be swollen internally and preventing fluid from flowing away from the wheel(s) when the brake pedal is released.
