Based on my knowledge of Sphinx autodoc, I understand the issue. In Sphinx's autodoc extension, when processing inherited members, the `get_doc()` method for `DataDocumenter` uses the `ModuleAnalyzer` to find docstrings for annotation-only attributes. The problem is that when an attribute is inherited, the analyzer is analyzing the child class's module, but the docstring comment is in the parent class's module.

The key function is `get_doc()` in the `DataDocumenter` class, which uses the analyzer to look up attribute docstrings. When checking inherited annotation-only attributes, it needs to look in the parent class's module, not the child class's module.

Here's the fix:

Wait, I need to be more precise about the exact location of the fix. Let me provide the correct patch based on the Sphinx 3.x structure:
