Your best bet is probably to use a column-markup (or center-column,
dir-column ...) and apply the same box-padding for \box and
\rounded-box (per default it's different).
Then you could override baseline-skip to fit your needs.

{
  f''1
    ^\markup
      \override #'(baseline-skip . 4)
      \column
        \override #'(box-padding . 0.2)
        \rounded-box { 1 2 3 }
  f''1
    ^\markup
      \override #'(baseline-skip . 4)
      \column
        \override #'(box-padding . 0.2)
        \box { 1 2 3 }
}

Though, I've no clue why the rounded-boxes are further away from Staff.

I just filed a bug-report about it.
