Your math is fine -- it's English usage that you seem to have 
forgotten.  "Next highest" -- i.e., highest but for the one that was 
initially identified as the highest.  You seem to be thinking of "next higher."

Also, I don't believe it was Jason who posted the bit you quoted -- 
if memory serves, it was Mark.

Best regards,

Charles
