Yes ;=) ...
Declaring the element "contentType" as abstract means that you will not
be able to use the element in an instance document.
Here, it looks like you want to be able to use the element but want to
impose a xsi:type in which case, this is not the element but the complex
type which needs to be declared as abstract.
BTW, I don't see the declaration of this complex type in your schema!
Hope this helps.
