Hi,

OttavaBracket objects are created by: Ottava_spanner_engraver, which
is part of the Staff context.
So you should write "Staff.OttavaBracket" instead of "OttavaBracket"

  \override Staff.OttavaBracket #'outside-staff-priority = #200000


But in this case I would have changed the TextScript instead of the
OttavaBracket (since the TexScript should not be a normal markup but is
expressing a fingering) :

\once \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = #350
<c g' >16^\markup { \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.7)
                    \column {\finger 4 \finger 1 } }

or even
  \once \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = ##f

Cheers,
Xavier
