Unless you've deliberately reversed your walls/infill printing order, the default is to print walls first. Your print head and nozzle won't have any reason to leave the perimeter of the model even if you're printing multiple examples of the part until the entire layer is complete on one of them. It will move to the next part in the array only after finishing the infill, which is well after your problem may have occurred on either the inner or outer perimeters on any particular layer.
I'm not sure what you're on about with top fill. I didn't say anything about your fill pattern or percentage.
