\layout { \omit Fingering }

is equivalent to

\layout { \omit Bottom.Fingering }

and omits Fingering in _any_ context with a Bottom alias.  It's probably
more targeted to write

\layout {
  \context { \Voice
    \omit Fingering
  }
}

which specifically just addresses Voice contexts.  In a similar vein,
one can write

\layout {
  \context { \Staff
    \omit TimeSignature
    \omit Clef
  }
}

to target just Staff contexts while

\layout {
  \omit Staff.TimeSignature
}

will address all contexts with a Staff alias (which includes TabStaff,
VaticanaStaff and others).
