No nice one (you can calculate the split using `window-egdes'):

  Primitives to look inside of window configurations would make sense,
  but none are implemented.


The code posted by Chris only rotates the buffers and doesn't flip the
split as requested; a more concise version:

(defun rotate-window-buffers ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((ws (window-list))
         (bs (mapcar 'window-buffer ws))
         (ps (mapcar 'window-point ws))
         (w (pop ws)))
    (dolist (v (append ws `(,w)))
      (set-window-buffer v (pop bs))
      (set-window-point v (pop ps)))))

All the best,
