On a low pinion housing, the pinion gear turns the ring gear towards the bottom, on a high pinion housing it's the opposite and since the pinion gear turns the ring gear towards the top the gears are cut in reverse, the advantages are that the gears are stronger and it gives the driveshaft more clearance.
