I have seen this rotation too but I don't find them really good. If
you have two such figures on a double page you will have to rotate
the book by 180° to see them both. Also if you hold the book in your
left hand and change the pages with the right hand it is more
natural to turn the book clockwise to read something in landscape. 

So I would put everything with the top to the left side, and if you
don't like this on left pages: Put landscape figures only on right
pages.
