So a few months ago, my rear brake locked up on me and ate through the pads. I took this as an obvious indication that something was wrong. I rebuilt the rear master cylinder and in the process noticed that the rear caliper was leaking. Upon noticing this, I ordered a seal replacement kit and went ahead and replaced the seals as well as replacing the brake line.

I've ridden the bike around 300 miles since this fix and the rear brake has performed well. However, yesterday the rear caliper seized again. I was able to remove the pads and get home but didn't get a chance to look at the caliper last night. I'm at a loss as what to what the issue could be as pretty much everything is new. Does anyone have any recommendations?
