Is there any \markup above the \score?  If so, then top-system-spacing 
will not apply.  Instead, what will matter is a combination of 
top-markup-spacing and markup-system-spacing.

Consider the following:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a6")
  top-margin = 50\pt % eqv. to 10 staff spaces at default staff size
  left-margin = 50\pt
  indent = 0
  tagline = ##f
  ragged-bottom = ##t

  top-markup-spacing.basic-distance = 10 % staff spaces are the units 
here
  top-system-spacing.basic-distance = 30
  markup-system-spacing.basic-distance = 20
  score-markup-spacing.basic-distance = 15
}

ruler = \tweak color #red \tweak stencil #(lambda (grob)
  (ly:make-stencil (ly:stencil-expr (apply ly:stencil-add
    (map (lambda (n) (let ((t (if (zero? (modulo n 10)) 0.3 0.1))
                           (x (+ 5 (if (zero? (modulo n 5)) 7 0)
                                   (if (zero? (modulo n 10)) 3 0))))
                       (make-line-stencil t (- x) n x n)))
      (iota 61 -20)))) '(0 . 1) '(0 . 0))) \etc

\markup { \fontsize #6 "top markup" }
\new Staff { \mark \markup "after markup score" \ruler b'1 }
\markup { \fontsize #6 "after score markup" }
\pageBreak
\new Staff { \mark \markup "top score" \ruler b'1 }
\markup { \fontsize #6 "after score markup" }
%%%%

This replaces the whole notes on each staff with a bright red ruler 
measuring in staff spaces.  You should be able to confirm all of the 
spacing distances as specified in the \paper block.
