Would't that imply that with a 100% class of service bonus, this RT route would actually earn close to 30K EQM for AS?
Welcome to FT, aschafer1984!

Base miles and class of services do count toward elite status, but I believe the percentage you are looking at is the "Additional bonus". This can only count towards redeemable miles (RDM).

The number of miles OP quoted above are correct, and if you include elite bonus (ie, 50%/100%/125), this will give you even more RDM, but the EQM stays the same.
