The solution is described in this section of the manual 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/context-layout-order. 
Name to the staff above the temporary staff when you create it, e.g.

\new Staff = "PianoOneLH" { ... }

Then position the temporary staff below it with

\new Staff \with { alignBelowContext = "PianoOneLH" } { ... }
