The "drop-on" behavior in the Org chart solution does not consider layers.
It simply checks to see if the center of the shape being dropped is within
the bounding box of any other shape on the page. I don't believe that we
ever provided a way to turn off the "drop-on" behavior either.

I think that your best bet is to use separate pages. You can make the second
page a synchronized copy of the first so you won't have to recreate the
organization structure - just reformat it to be color coded.
