From somewhere in the second level (but not in the third or higher levels, if such
exist), you can go up to the higher-level heading (what you call top), then to the
next heading at the same level (next), open a line before that and insert a heading:

C-c C-u
C-c C-f
C-o
M-RET

If typing all that is objectionable, you can define a keyboard macro to
do it. 

Or you can define a command to do it (I just looked up the
above key bindings to find the functions to call and looked up the docs
of the various functions for the arguments):

(defun my-org-insert-heading-at-end-of-current-level ()
  (interactive)
  (outline-up-heading 1)
  (org-forward-heading-same-level 1)
  (open-line 1)
  (org-meta-return))

and either call it with M-x my-org-insert-heading-at-end-of-current-level RET
or bind it to a key.
