I am confident you have it exactly backwards. In the summer fan pushes air down to create active airflow that cools you through increased evaporation.

In the winter, fan pulls air up creating circulation to avoid cold spots in the room. Being able to feel air movement makes people feel cooler even if the air is the same temperature as they are.

I think it's notable that in winter you run it slower so that you can't feel the air movement. You are just trying to get the warm air that rose to the ceiling to come back down gently by pulling some cooler air up to displace it.
