I think the selection of Bailey shows just how much Cunningham doesn't want Dawson in at winger. I'm not sure him at full back would have meant him dealing with high balls any better either, he'd just have been taking them in the middle of the pitch rather than on the side, Hull would still have targetted him.
Taking the high balls at Full Back is generally easier than on the wing. The kicks Bailey struggled with were attacking kicks when he was under a lot of pressure, you don't get that weighted lob from 20m out coming at you when you're at Full Back. It's a mid field bomb, a punt or a grubber that you generally have to deal with.
