Yes, we're talking about different things. The clevis is offset toward the center, but it is also rotated slightly so that it isn't at a right angle. If you were to stick a pencil through the clevis holes, it would point slightly toward the rear of the car rather than squarely at the center line.
As for the front adjusting wedge issue, I think it's likely one of two things: the thread on the adjuster is gunked up or damaged, and it's binding in the backing plate before it screws all the way in. Or, the adjusting shafts on the shoes are binding in their sockets.
