I recently had a master cylinder go bad and it was locking all my brakes on my 2006 Silverado in exactly the same way. It's possible that the master cylinder, although new is defective. There's a proper sequence to bench bleeding the master cylinder, being careful not to push the plunger in too far which can cause damage to a new master cylinder causing it to stick in the compressed position. Also there is an adjustment rod that pushes in the master cylinder at the booster that some times requires adjustment to achieve the proper amount of slack.
It's not likely that this happened but another mistake some people make is putting power steering fluid in the reservoir instead of the proper brake fluid. It looks clear like brake fluid but will swell all the rubber components and end up locking your brakes.
It's not likely it has anything to do with the calipers unless you find it is only locking up on one wheel.
