How about:

<xsl:when test="parent::Link">
  <xsl:for-each select="../../following-sibling::Caption">
    <!-- this might better be
         ../../following-sibling::*[1][self::Caption]
         if you want to constrain it to the immediately following sibling;
         in any case if there's no Caption nothing happens, like your test
      -->
    <Caption align="bottom">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       <!-- but you might rather apply templates here -->
     </Caption>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>

Don't hesitate to post with questions.

Cheers,
Wendell
