It's a bit more complex than that.  For outside-staff-priority to make
any difference, you need to be in the same Staff (or rather vertical
axis group).

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  \new Staff \with { \accepts "ChordNames" }
  <<
    \new ChordNames \with { \remove "Axis_group_engraver"
                          } { c1 g }
    {
      \tempo 4=100
      \override Staff.ChordName.outside-staff-priority = #20
      \override Staff.ChordName.direction = #UP
      g'4 g' d' g' 
      c''^\markup "text"  b' g' g' 
    }
  >>
}
