Maybe self-adjusters have snugged them up to much.I've seen this happen.

The arm that holds the magnet could be stuck and not fully releasing.

What brand axles? I'll assume dexter. Heat could be caused by lots of things. Have they been rebuilt lately? If so, if someone torqued the axle nut but didn't back it off properly weather it's too tight or too loose. Dragging brakes will do it too.
