I see what you are thinking, and I see what LilyPond is thinking.

The Dynamics context starts before the ossia, but has only spacers in it
until the ossia Staff starts.

LilyPond put the Dynamics above the main Staff, then later put the
ossia Staff just above the main Staff, squeezing under the Dynamics.

You could 
  \new Staff \with {alignAboveContext = "dn" } ...
  \new Dynamics = "dn" ...
