Had the exact same problem, on the exact same wheel. Grease from wheel bearings that dripped on the rotor and the rim.  Smoked and made the brakes pull a little. Turns out the caliper was dragging, causing the rotor and bearings to get very hot.  Inside and outside pads worn very unevenly. Replaced both calipers and no new problem.
