It depends on which bearing race has a greater grip on it's hub/rotor counterpart. If the inner race spins on the shaft, in very short order it will wear a groove in the shaft and that's all she wrote for the axle.
Not familiar enough with the Kodiac system as I believe mine are the previous gen Dexter Nev-R-Lube and they weren't sealed but rather two humongous Timken style tapered sets opposed mounted with 155lb torque preload. Those previous set-ups had the bearing sitting in a cavity that would continuously lube the sets as the lube warmed up.
JMHO but fully sealed bearings are a crap-shoot for the limited amount of lube that can be retained within the bearing races themselves, heat is the destroyer of the seal and then the high-temp bearing lube can actually get hot enough (shouldn't) to liquify and drain from the bearing, et-voila, dry bearing! Something must have been wrong with the bearing to have triggered the heat generation though.
