I agree.
That would be my first suspect!
Explains the locking of front only.
M/C usually would affect all 4 the same.
The "cooldown" that fixes things might be a slow bleed off of the pressure, which could also point back to the M/C or the relaxing of the faulty hoses.
I would suggest switching to braided stainless lines on all 4 wheels as a good starting point, after inspecting all 4 calipers and lines for leaks.
Keep us posted on progress!
