What is the context? Do you want the custos' pitch to be determined by the next note or do you want to make it arbitrary? Is it for the visual index?

This kind of works:

\version "2.24.1"

\new Staff \with {
  \consists Custos_engraver
}
{
  c'1
  \once \override Staff.Custos.break-visibility = #all-visible
  c'1
}

but it's not clear to me if that corresponds to your desired output.
