If you use the annotations.alwaysOutside option, you'll see where annotations end up when they don't fit inside the bar.
I'm not finding any explicit padding for when the position of the annotation is outside the bar, so I believe it is just based on the font size and the number of lines of annotation text, such that the bottom of the text is just above the top of the bar. For the inside position, there is a hard-coded minimum margin of 2 pixels between the top of the bar and the top of the annotation text.
