3. Your thermodynamic model is flawed.

While heat transfer is driven by temperature, it has nothing to do with how much energy the two bodies have because unless they are of the same composition, their heat capacities will probably be different. You can therefore have heat transfer from a body with less energy to one with more energy, as long as the former is at a higher temperature than the latter.
