Only if by higher you mean higher absolute value, it's not particularly unorthodox for "higher" to generally refer to "more up on North up maps"

-12° is the same size as 12°. For angles the negative sign denotes direction. -12 N is just 12 S. Sure, but maps can be turned upside down. Is higher now south? What about a map centered on the north pole. Which direction is up then?
