And that's the misunderstanding.
The grob are only ordered following outside-staff-priority _if_
collisions would happen otherwise.
If you manually move grob4, in a way grob1/2/3 _can't_ collide with it
any longer then collision-avoidence following outside-staff-priority
happens only for grob1/2/3

I'm not aware of such a possibility.
