If the neon layer cools the layer beneath (the silicon layer), wouldn't you expect the temp of that layer to be the lowest near the top, instead of the highest?

No. I would expect the highest temps to be in the highest regions, just like the oceans of earth. The neon removes the excess heat off the top. |
Strawman! Oceans of the earth have nothing to do with this!
Seriously, the oceans are the hottest at the side they are warmed, i.e the top (I'm making abstraction of underwater volcanoes of course). The silicon layer would be heated from the bottom to the top and cooled from the top to the bottom, and thus should be hot at the bottom and cooler at the top, not the other way around.
Warm air climbs, but if you put your heating in the floor and your cooling in the roof, the roof will be cooler than the floor.
