Different size tires on same axle?

My wife recently (45 days ago or so) brought her car to a local brake shop for a brake inspection. I just noticed yesterday that the shop switched the front and rear tires on the passenger side so she has been driving with mismatched sizes on each axle. It's a 2001 4.4xi with 285/255 staggered set up.

Is it possible that this mismatching could have caused damage to any steering or suspension components? I do have more inner wear on one of the 285 tires, but I am not sure if it was like that previously or the switch caused the wear. Thoughts?
