Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

What's your procedure for removing and reattaching the front wheel? There may be a 4th option.

If you flip your bike upside down when you do this, it's common for the hub axle not to seat all the way in the dropouts. If that happens, it'll make your brake rub. I prefer to reattach the front wheel with the bike standing up and push down on the stem to seat the axle in the dropouts before tightening the front wheel.
