I see what you are trying to say, but if the floats allow the fuel level to rise, then fuel can seep out of the jets. Also, logically where else is the fuel coming from!?

excluding a leaking the the fuel tank coincidentally right about the filter intake hole, the only other way to see fuel in the airbox is if a valve has gone and you are getting gasses 'blowing' out if the carb ... but as the bike ran before it was parked up, this is unlikely to be the cause?
