I have flown Approaches in almost every continent. Its a typical approach like most badly designed approaches.
Its an ILS/DME approach, so the holding pattern over the FAF/ L KP published is basically for stacking airplanes in a hold and shoot them in 1 by 1. The Holding over KA is designed for missed approach procedure.
Your question is that the holding over KA is in the wrong direction. Yes you are right, but not 100%. Its designed like that so it provides an easy transition back to the published holding over the L KP beacon.
Now lets say you come from the north to L KP, you would do either a Direct (from NW) or a parallel entry (from NE) if you are told to hold over L KP. If you flew the approach and went missed approach then you follow the procedure and hold over KA and to do that, 'recommended procedure' is a teardrop or parallel entry. Now, your inbound course will be to fly to the KA beacon which positions you to fly a back course of the LOC or inbound bearing of L KP. You would then fly the 'course reversal: A/B or C/D segment (category dependent) if you are cleared for the approach.
Then, you do it all over again.
So you see. its simple.
