You put oversized linings on to make up for over spec drums correct? My take on this is that your brakes are adjusted out too far causing drag and overheating of the drums to a point where you have brake fade as the shoes no longer contact the drum as it has grown in diameter. Perhaps your drums are really too far out of spec or simply remove some excess brake lining

The shoes will be in contact with the drum same as normal during fade. What causes the fade is a dramatic change in the coefficient of friction as the surface of the lining alters characteristics under extreme heat. That's why they have the burnt look about them. Contact area looks good.
I do believe you are onto the problem with the linkage/cam adjustment. David
