Ground pin is always the longest. Your point cannot likely happen.

Some devices were designed to sit on the outlet and rely on gravity to
push them against the wall. The outlet expander/surge protector is an
example of this. With the device plugged in upside down, they're pulled
away from the wall, which creates the situation the upside down outlets
are trying to avoid.

I do enjoy a little irony now and then. ;-)
