First thing is that if CO have told you it is refundable then it is. If they then "change their mind" then you have cause for a refund in any case.
To answer the question as far as I can see "S" is right at the top of the KLM booking system for coach so I would expect the fare to be refundable.
Maybe an expert can confirm this?

"S" class is Full Fare Coach, fully flexible and normally more expensive than a discounted Business Class ticket, booked in "Z".
I would recommend to doublecheck, if there are any deals in C, before burning the miles..

So true, Johan !
Desperately trying to explain that to KLM Germany, but since some years now you cannot book any intercontinental flights in C on klm.de, cause the booking engine does not find space on one class Cityhopper flights to AMS, if you continue in C from there !!
