Since one can reach the wheel from the front and back of the camera,
turing it left from the back side is the same as turning it right from
the front, and vice versa. So there would be confusion with a
left/right exposure display too.
If you turn the wheel left/right, either one or the other sides of
the wheel is going down. Choose a side which feels more "important"
to you and then if its up/down doesn't coincide with the exposure
up/down, use the Pentax functions to reverse the direction you need
to turn the dial so it makes sense to you.
Personally, I prefer a vertical lightmeter display.
