The fluid drops with pad wear. Just how old are those pads? There are things that can go wrong with the pads and calipers. So you need to inspect them yourself or see a mechanic about it.
The rear calipers are prone to problems with the pistons and the pad backing plates getting rust bound in the caliper slots. A casual look will not help with that. Siezed slider bolts on a front caliper will cause problems too. You need to look to see that inboard and outboard pads are close to the same thickness.
To shift the fluid in the reservoir enough that air would get into the system, you would have to almost tip the vehicle on its side. Its difficult for a vehile to generate 1G in corners or braking. That would put the fluid in a 45 degree slope which would not expose the feeds to the MC.
If you think everything is ok, add some fluid, thats what the warning system is for. It is a good idea to remove the fluid at the reservoir once a year and refil with new. That keeps the systems moisture levels down. This is cheap and easy to do.
