Two thoughts.
A. if you are using list items for the content, do you need the h3s?
The list item kind of serves as a separator. Then you have an h2, a
list and more text, and no additional headings are needed.
b. You can make this more explicit by using an html5 section element
or div with role="region". Whichever you choose yo need to add an
accessible name to expose it to a.t.

e.g.
<h2 id="id1">heading</h2>
<div role="region" aria-labelledby="id1">
all the list stuff and headings yu want.
paragraph.
</div> end of section starting with the h2.

If the element that comes after your content is an h2, I would say
that is sufficient. Any content between the h2s belongs with the first
one, and the end of that content is demakated with use of the second
h2. I would still use the section trick to make it absolutely
explicit.
