AC Question

Hi,
I've been enjoying Android Marshmallow and its ability to restrict app permissions, but I think I may have come across a security loophole.

I normally give Google Play Services broad access to my data. Now, say that I download an app (i.e. Angry Birds) and restrict its access to my contacts. Can't this app still get to my contacts by making an api call to Google Play Services?
