It might be that there are more robots that can pick up an upright container, faster than they can pick up a sideways container. A tipped container generally has to be picked up from one end or the other, while an upright container can be picked up from any orientation.

Like most aspects of this game, you have to weigh the extra time it takes to get a tipped container, vs the points you get by knocking it over.
