sharec-config-custom.xml will not change the content type.
The configuration which you have posted


<type name="cm:folder">
   <subtype name="kb:space" />
</type>
‍‍‍‍‍

that does not affect the content types at all it is configuration for alfresco share UI.
Also that configuration tells that kb:space is subtype of type cm:folder.
How can you expect that to revert back to default content type?

ah sorry, I indeed have copy/paste the wrong part which should have been:


<type name="kb:space">
   <subtype name="cm:folder" />
</type>
‍‍‍‍‍

It was just to tell that I can try to revert from share's UI but it does not work and I have no idea what is missing in the model, or if it is even possible.

>> How can you expect that to revert back to default content type?
So how would you define two types, one child of the other, and the child revertable to the parent?

Ok, it seems to be unsupported: https://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/content-modeling/change-type-custom-type-back-content-base-type-05242011
