Well, of course. I made it a global override using

\layout {
    \context {
        \Score
        \override VoltaBracket #'Y-offset-callbacks = #(list
Staff_symbol_referencer::callback)
        \override VoltaBracket #'staff-position = #8
    }
}

and it seems that the bracket stops raising at staff-position 8.
Perhaps I need to tweak something else too?
