If the contracts are about managing workloads, then this makes sense, because a Test series can last a couple of months, and an ODI series probably a couple of weeks. But I suppose it's also about rewarding box office players. Somebody who only plays LOI isn't really much at risk of burnout, and must be less vulnerable to injury caused by fatigue.
I think Vaughan got a contract after he retired.
