It doesn't matter where the calipers are mounted, I don't see the relevance of whether or not our calipers are on top. That diagram could just as easily be a top-down view with the calipers mounted in the 9 o'clock position.

If it is a top-down view, then why would it flex in a front/rear direction unless it's a product of excessive toe in / toe out causing that kind of force / load - even then, those forces would still be at play at any speed. Sorry, I don't see it happening due to cornering. The hub itself can't flex enough...the rotors certainly won't flex enough...
Combine my point of view of why does it happen when not on a track?
