Break caliper sticking?

I have a 99 C4, with 78K mi. Daily drive.

A couple days ago the brake wear light came on. I had a reputable non-dealer shop check it out and they replaced the front brake pads and sensors. Also did the rear brakes while it was in the shop. They found the front right (passenger side) inside calliper brake pad excessively worn, like it was sticking or being used too much. I've not noticed any pulling while driving or braking. That pad was worn maybe three times as much as the other front pads. I'd done the front brakes about a year ago.

They flushed and replaced the brake fluid. That probably hadn't been done for 2.5 years or 40K miles (my bad I guess).

I'm wondering if there is something else that I should do to prevent this problem from happening again, or whether further maintenance should be required.

Thanks for your thoughts.
