How to get the moving average of the biggest two among many?

As mentioned, for the sample data below:
ReportDateSales
1/1/202261
1/2/202286
1/3/202264
1/4/202269
1/5/202262
1/6/202296
1/7/202264
1/8/202260
1/9/202271
1/10/202279
1/11/202269
1/12/202273

 

 

The requirement is to get the average sales of the biggest two month in the last six months. 

For example, for 1/12/2022, the target value shall be 76  or (79+73)/2,  for 1/11/2022, it shall be 87.5 or (96+79)/2. 
 
I am struggling on how to filter the 2 out of the 6. 
As it is part of other calculation, realization with pure DAX code is welcome.

Expected result measure: =
VAR _currentmonthend =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( Data[ReportDate] ), 0 )
VAR _sixmonthboforestart =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( Data[ReportDate] ), -6 ) + 1
VAR _sixmonthsperiodtable =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        Data,
        Data[ReportDate] >= _sixmonthboforestart,
        Data[ReportDate] <= _currentmonthend
    )
VAR _biggesttwovaluesavg =
    AVERAGEX ( TOPN ( 2, _sixmonthsperiodtable, Data[Sales], DESC ), Data[Sales] )
RETURN
    _biggesttwovaluesavg
