I don't think it is either wrong or right.  When creating the second
headline, Org has no way of guessing what you want, to it makes a
choice, and I opted for a simple algorithm that looks only above
the previous sibling, in this case the first list item.

I don't see why the other choice would be any better.
Anyone else want to weigh in on tis issue?
