A leading edge on the top side of the pads means put a leading edge it will stop help stop dust getting trapped on the corner of the pads, what ususlly happens it that the brake dust builds up mixes with water and causes the brake noise

Not sure if the pads will have a groove or not, doesnt matter if they have or they haven't what does matter is that if its there make sure its cleaned out
