I was confused too  Never seen a top mounted oil filter before. I guess the original thinking was that heavy debris (carbon, metal etc) would settle out in the sump and therefor the filter was placed close to the sump area at the start of the circuit. On older cars, without the the tightly packed engine compartments, the filter could frequently still be accessed from the top.
