Finding out there is the possibility of another brother on SPN is like falling for someone and then finding out they are buckets of crazy. I'm still only part way through S2 (just watched Born Under a Bad Sign), but I've fallen pretty hard for Kripke's world. And the idea of another brother in that dynamic...just seems wrong, wrong, wrong.
The only way I can see Wincest is if a writer emphasizes the idea that they boys grew up so cut off from other people that they had only each other for any and all human interaction that really mattered, so they turned to each other. So, in my mind, a third brother who didn't grow up with them wouldn't make sense for Wincest. He'd be an outsider. And reading that in EW? The world really is getting weirder.
