This members-only tutorial provides the steps to set up category and tag archives in Oxygen such that the latest 3 posts from the current category/tag appear at the top with the rest offset by 3 at the bottom in another section while ensuring that pagination continues to work.
We shall display the archive description above the bottom grid of posts.
While the tutorial shows Easy Posts being used, you could use Repeaters if you wish.
Step 1
If you would like to show categories and tags for each post with more control than what is possible by default in Oxygen, implement this tutorial.

Step 3
