Sounds like air perhaps.
What exactly did you do with the brakes? I never do anything with them when I change a tire that would let air in.
I only push the pads back away from the rotors enough to get calipers off, I never open the system unless changing the fluid also.
It does take a few pumps to get the pads pushed back out to the rotors after they been pushed in like that, I suppose you did that and still have the problem?
If the system was empty for some reason and let air in you might want to loosen the banjo bolt at master and pump a couple times to get any air out of it, or maybe tie back the brake lever over night and let it sit. Be sure to not get fluid on any paint/plastic!
