If it was not just Evince, but all GTK3 apps having this problem, I
would say that it's a known problem that Xfce's reverse scrolling option
does not work with GTK3 apps.  That's what I see when I try it in a VM;
Xfce's reverse scrolling works with things like Thunar file manager and
Firefox, but does not work with GTK3 apps like Evince and gedit.  There
are various bug reports and workarounds for it, ex:

  https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11193
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1368402
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674716#c13

But if it's just Evince having this problem, I don't know how to help.
I can't reproduce it on my side and I don't know of any reason for
Evince to behave differently from any other GTK3 app.
