Close. You are selecting an empty node-set.
What you wrote is equivalent to:

select="./following-sibling::item[position() = 3]"

...in other words, you are trying to choose siblings
of the context node (the element 'section'). What
you want is the third child.

select="child::item[position() = 3]"

should work... or even further abbreviated

select="item[3]"
