Your code shows the opposite, right?  The custos points up because of
the tie, but the second note on the second staff is lower.

You can define this by yourself, see attached example.  Do you have to
one or more real-world scores where custodes are combined with ties?

\version "2.24.3" 

custosDown = \override Staff.Custos.neutral-position = -100
custosUp = \override Staff.Custos.neutral-position = 100

{
  \custosUp
  a'1 ~ \break
  a'
  g
}

{
  \custosDown
  a'1 ~ \break
  a'
  g
}

\layout { 
  \context { 
    \Staff 
    \consists Custos_engraver 
    \override Custos.style = #'mensural 
  }
