It might be OK on the other face which may be enough to scrape through the test.

Suggests that perhaps there's a problem with the top and bottom arcs of the current pads not touching the disc, or there was a problem with the centre arc of the previous pads (so the top and bottom did wear the disc down leaving the centre arc proud).

Without machining the disc and the pads to get them all level, changing both seems the obvious answer.
