[Python] How to get top 3 tuples from two lists based on a sorting by float and string values

I have 2 lists

lst1 = [
0.9932, 0.9982, 0.9979, 0.9981, 0.9993, 0.9985,
0.9924, 0.9984, 0.9987, 0.9967, 0.995, 0.9932
]


and

lst2 = [
"Jane", "Tylor", "James", "Tom", "Smith", "Johnson",
"Williams", "Jones", "Brown", "Davis", "Miller", "Wilson"
]


I want to make a list which contains 3 tuples which then contain 2 items within them. The second item in each of the 3 tuples is the float point value from lst1 arranged in descending order (top 3 values from lst1) and the second item in the tuple is the name from lst2 corresponding to the float point from lst1. So essentially I want

[("Smith", 0.9993), ("Brown", 0.9987), (0.9985, "Johnson")]


However, if the highest values from lst1 are the same, then I want to sort by the name. For example: (0.9994, "Abby") should come before (0.9994, "Bob")

I have tried:

sorted(zip(lst1, lst2), reverse=True)[:3]


which gives me

[(0.9993, "Smith"), (0.9987, "Brown"), ("Johnson", 0.9985)]


i.e. the lst1 item comes before lst2 item in the tuple. If I swap lst1 and lst2, it still does not work.
