dbGetNeighbor question

I am using the dbGetNeighbor function it returns the correct shape and distance for rectangles, but if the object is a polygon it returns the upper edge rather than the closest edge. Example a L shaped polygon turned counter clockwise. 

Is there a way to get the lower edge distance without shape manipulation or stepping points to see in point is in fig, leIsPointInsideFig.

    I implemented a stepping by grid scripting to find the edge. It seemed the simplest way  to find the closet edge from the point.
