If it were me I would alter the function you posted to set up the field group args, then add a call to a filter to allow modification in the child themes functions.php file and then call acf_add_local_field_group();

function () {
  $args = array(/*field group settings*/);
  apply_filters('my-theme-name-my-field-group-name', $args);
  acf_add_local_field_group($args);
}

then in the child them you can add

add_filter('my-theme-name-my-field-group-name', 'child_theme_function', 10, 1);
function child_theme_function($args) {
   // modify args
   return $args;
}
