Indeed.

Doesn't it work to set that after including the global Makefile?
I thought make's rule was last-one-wins.  Another thing worth
experimenting with is to set it using ":=" rather than "=".

Also, it should work to override it from the command line, viz

      make check CONTRIB_TESTDB=foo

although I gather the OP wants to set it in his own Makefile.
