See the discussion here https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/856 (and the related one here https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/800) The short-ish answer is: if it's clear enough from other cues (like context, positioning, etc) that something is clickable/actionable, it doesn't necessarily need to meet any particular contrast requirements to indicate its entire clickable surface/hit area.
