I'm bottom tier management so I work with middle management directly a bit. All of this is just the organisations Ive been in, I'm sure there are every possible kind. Top level management is often driven by short term incentives, they want dramatic big bang 'transformative change', while middle management is largely in it for their career. So they're pressurised for short term goals, but their actual career stability and advancement depends on middle to long term success. What's really important is making sure the signal from the ground level gets to middle management. A lot of reporting process and bullshit is because middle management want to understand what the heck is going on and that's the only reliable way they have to get information. So politely and as constructively as possible go to them and tell them what you think they need to know. I'm not guaranteeing they will listen to you, but if you don't try then all they will have is reporting spreadsheets.
