A step-sibling of a step-sibling.

Here's an example :

A & B had Child 1

A & B then got divorced, A married C and B married D.

C had Child 2 and D had Child 3 from their previous marriage.

Couple A&C and couple B&D now share childcare responsibilities of Child 1, 2 & 3 and often babysit them together.

So, while none of the three children shares blood, Child 2 & 3 have a common Step-sibling, Child 1.

Child 2 & Child 3 could be called each other's Antipodal Siblings.

"How are you and Jimmy related?"

"Well, we're Antipodal Siblings. Him and I share the same step-sibling, Lucy. Lucy is my step-sister cause her mom married my dad and Jimmy's step-sister cause her dad married his mom. We're one big blended family!"
