Not necessarily downhill, but the possibility of downhill is implied. Both of these locations would need to be infinitely high in order for the direction to be uphill.

AFAIK "infinitely up" is more plausible than "infinitely down", as in most systems you would eventually hit a center-of-mass when going down.
