By default, you need to turn your head to the left to read a Y axis title. When creating a second y axis, the title is oriented in the same direction as the first axis. I would prefer to reverse the text of the second y axis so that you would need to tilt your head to the right to read.
Here's an example of how the plot titles currently look:

figure
xlabel('xlabel')
yyaxis left
ylabel('First y-axis title')
yyaxis right
ylabel('Second y-axis title')
ylh = get(gca,'ylabel');
gyl = get(ylh);
ylp = get(ylh, 'Position');
ylp(1)=ylp(1)+0.02 ; % to adjust the position
set(ylh, 'Rotation',-90, 'Position',ylp, 'VerticalAlignment','middle', 'HorizontalAlignment','center')
