Contact Finder error: is this supposed to happen?

Attempted to use the Contact Finder on a level 17 character while standing in Atlas Park, and got this:

 

 

I went back to Steel Canyon, tried it again, and it worked correctly. It seems to imply that the Contact Finder only works when you're in a level-appropriate zone?

Yes, this is intentional, as far as I know. Most people claim that the Contact Finder changes based on your zone, though I've been teleported to new zones, entirely, for some new contacts. Perhaps it's based on who you can be introduced to based on your level. So, if you're the right level in King's Row, Find Contact might give you contacts in Steel Canyon.
