No. They don't. I just watched the scene.

The Eagles arrives from the battlefield to Ravenhill. And Ravenhill is West of the battlefield so the eagles must arrive from east.
No. I just watched it. You have it exactly backwards. Azog is looking over Thorin's head at the arriving eagles. The battlefield is behind Azog to the EAST of Ravenhill which means that the eagles arrive from the WEST. See for yourself. If we see some of them flying from right to left in the next longshot then that only means that they are wheeling around the valley.
Plus Bolgs army arrives from West of Ravenhill.
Well, from the North, according to Gandalf. Of course, Ravenhill in the film is north of Dale, jutting from Ravenwing Ridge to the west, so close enough. Yes, the Goblin Mercenaries and the bats both arrive from the west from the other side of Ravenhill. However, nothing about that precludes the eagles arriving from the same direction.
The battle map of the Battle of the Five Armies (that I assume is from the final Hobbit Chronicles book) is orientated oddly, with North towards the upper left side of the page. It shows the eagles fighting Bolg's army west of the River Running, not on the main battlefield. That may be confusing the issue for me.
