I did not do all that well in my aerospace engineering studies (which is why I'm not an engineer today), but I don't think the wing height along the fuselage plays a major role in determining the lift generated by that wing.

A high mounted wing allows the airfoil shape to be continued from end to end including in the middle over the body of the plane. A low or mid wing's upper surface in interrupted where it joins the body, reducing it's lifting surface. Not a scientific study, just the way I see it, so don't take it to the bank.
