If you have for some reason change your kmenu list, you can reset it by
rm ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

Yes, there is a default entry of kontact which fedora ships :)
As Rex said it's in the office category.
chitlesh(~)[0]$cat /usr/share/applications/kde/Kontact.desktop | grep Categories
Categories=Qt;KDE;Office;

what decides: the desktop files in /usr/share/applications/
ls /usr/share/applications/
It's the Category field in the desktop file: Kontact.desktop defines
where it will be located in the kmenu.
