Not sure how that could or would be the issue -- he's asking about whether or not the puck should retract all the way like it's doing.... your suggestion would be the opposite of that - that the brakes were NOT releasing...
The brake pads should always be "pretty close" to engaged but without any pressure on them whatsoever.... Generally to get the pucks to retract you have to PUSH THEM back. There's also puck knock back, but that's another issue.
Be certain you're not looking at a single sided brake system where only the one side actually has moving parts -- the other side is "fixed" -- when the brakes are applied only one side of the caliper actually "works" and just pulls the other fixed side into the rotor and then they clamp. Perhaps what you're seeing is ONE side moving and the other side just "relaxing" without any pressure being applied?
