Dragging brakes on one side, bald tire on the other

Dragging brakes on one side, bald tire on the other
Apologies ahead of time if this has been coverd somewhere already or if it's just a stupid question.
I'm running a 2006 Honda CR-Vse Auto. I recently had to replace my rear brakes (pads, rotors and calipers) because the rear drivers side were frozen up, not completely locked to the point I couldn't drive but enough that the pads wore down to nothing and the rotor was too hot to touch after a slow 5 mile drive. That set-up aside, after replacing everything I noticed my opposite rear tire (opposite to the formerly frozen brakes) was nearly entirely bald. My question is, did this occur when the brakes were frozen up and I simply wasn't paying attention when I took the tires off, or did I botch something and cause it afterwards?
a side note here, I'm no mechanic and this was the first time I had to do the calipers. I bled them with some help and I had someone more experienced take a look before I put everything back together.

I'm sorry if I'm not describing this well, I'm more of a visual and hands on guy than a wordsmith.

I can safely say I'm not doing burnouts and these brakes aren't locked up. The brakes were semi locked up on the opposite side. I replaced the brakes on both sides and the tread is worn down around the entire tire, not just a single spot as if it was dragging.

I guess I'm asking if it's possible that the passenger side was basically over compensating for the driver side while it was dragging.

with an AWD it's my understanding that the tires can rotate individually. So if one is locked up and dragging, couldn't the other possibly spin? Like if you were to roast the tires.
I'm not saying thats what happened, I'm asking questions to try and figure out why only one tire has gone bald when it wasn't the one that was having brake problems.
