The Curved text command is a bit limited in that you can't directly control the direction of the text. The text will always align in the entities internal direction. Arcs and circles can internally reverse their direction, and so you are limited to a fixed text alignment with these.
As a workaround, draw a smooth path along your circle's edge (in the direction you want the text to align) and use that to place the curved text.

Hope that helps.
