Not really practical above a few KHz or so. Above that parasitic capacitance grounds at lots of points. For audio it works but for high speed electronics not so much

I'm talking about conductive connections, which are usually the source of this sort of EMI problem. If in the OP's case, the errant layer had not been connected to chassis, the emissions would not have occurred.

I agree that consecutive layers in a stack have considerable capacitance between them and that is where the EMI gets from the 'dirty' plane to the 'clean' one.
