Hey Troy, thanks for reaching out!
When it comes to trailer suspension you need to make sure everything is the same so the suspension all wears the same and operates with the best potential. If one axle has a camber (the arch you mentioned) and the other doesn't have a camber then it can cause things to not be as smooth.
I recommend either finding an axle that's straight like what you have, or swapping both out to the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # T3584F-EZ-8974 so it all matches.
