The anchor/eccentric pin sits above the cylinder. Adjusting the pin does make a huge difference in how the rear shoe contacts the drum. Moving the anchor eccentric moves the shoes not only forward and backward, but also up and down in respect to their centering in the drum.

On one of my wheels, the top of the rear shoe was contacting the drum, even the with adjuster loosen up quite a bit. So I had to rotate the eccentric to bring the top of that shoe forward (which brings the bottom of that shoe rearwards).
