I think the reason that receptor affinity numbers seem backwards is that they are really inverse values, that is 1/x, but usually just the denominator (bottom number of the fraction) is given by itself.
Maybe for printing convenience.
But if you look at it that way, then of course the higher the number, the lower the value (1/5 is much higher than 1/500).
Hope that clears it up.
