Open the attached score. Compare the distance above the chord symbols in system 2 with that above the chord symbols in system 3. The latter is slightly less but there doesn't seem to be any obvious reason why.

It's kind of a corner case, but it seems there is a small amount of small below the staff in the first measure that the chord symbol on the next system is potentially colliding with. You can kind of deduce its shape by nudging the fret diagram in bar 5 to the right until it clears this invisible protrusion. So in a score where spacing is tight enough that this makes a difference, you'll see that small discrepancy.
I'm pretty sure this is due to the key signature, even though it is suppressed on the tab staff. I can reproduce the same with non-tab staves, just having a symbol above a staff that is directly below the key signature on a staff above.
Relates to #317319: C-Major/a-minor and atonal key signatures cause other elements, like dynamics, to move up and is possibly a duplicate.
