When using Records Management and talking about permissions / inheritance, you have to forget almost everything you know from "regular" Alfresco sites. Records Management has its own weird permission / capabilities mechanism which sits on top of the regular permissions and sort of supersedes / hi-jacks some of the core evaluations / rules as well.

There is no way that I know of with which you could achieve your requested functionality without messing with some core components / code of Records Management itself - which in itself is not advisable / beneficial for anyone's sanity.

... and it's a pitty that Alfresco (John?) implemented this permission handling and behavior outside alfresco core since there are implemented concepts we would like to use outside of RM and vice versa. Looks like somebody took the code from somewhere else (docu...um?) and made it somehow working inside this module without breaking the rest of alfresco but making a lot of other customizations unusable.
My experience with RM is: you could only use it as it is and only use it on a vanilla standalone system. Love it or leave it.
