It's "flipped" only with respect to the center of the earth. Since this isn't a point of measurement(the satellites are the ones effectively holding the stopwatch), it's not really worth taking into account.
If the neutrino stream was going west->east(i.e. with the satellites) rather than east->west, the receiving station would appear to be moving away from the starting point of the neutrino stream. That would effectively decrease the speed of neutrinos.
