I would rather recommend to set the staff-position property:
moveRestUp = \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #6
moveRestDown = \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-6

The default in \voiceTwo (i.e. in the second voice of a <<{...} \\ {...}>> construct)
is that staff-position is set to -4 for MultiMeasureRest.

Since these rests are typeset centered between the bar lines, it would require significant effort for LilyPond to figure out which other notes it might collide
with (all the current collision handling between notes and between notes and
rests, is only done for notes and rests that occur on the same beat).

\version  "2.8.6"

moveRestUp = \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'Y-offset = #4
moveRestDown = \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'Y-offset = #-5
theMusic = \relative
{

    << {c4 c c c} \\ { \moveRestDown R1 } >> \break

\score
