I would say not to nest things within figure tags. Just keep in mind that screen readers/assistive technology interpret things linearly. So, things are read from the top down. Potentially nesting any tag (a list) within another tag (a figure) makes it invisible from the accessibility tree in the PDF document. It will be skipped over.
