Are you overriding the `layer` property of the StaffSymbol at the very start? The StaffSymbol is created once at the start of the score (and late when doing `\stopStaff` and `\startStaff`). This means that a later override will not affect the existing staff symbol.
This here sholud would as you intend:
%%%
{
\override Score.StaffSymbol.layer = 4
\override Staff.TimeSignature.layer = 3
b'1~
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature.whiteout = ##t
\time 5/4 b'
}
%%%
Cheers,
Tina
