The point is not whether Wikipedia (or another project) can "claim infringement" against Wikidata. The point is that Wikidata should just not infringe anyway. Wikidata is not being an equitable ally to other projects when it doesn't respect the terms of their licenses, even if it could get away with it.
Even if you were to create a "monkey selfie" case, claiming that Wikipedia contributors have no rights because there are too many of them or something -- and keep in mind that this sounds like utter nonsense to me, in my layman opinion -- if you accomplished anything like that, it would be a self-own. It would be a sabotage of Wikimedia. You don't test copyright by violating the copyright of the same organization you're involved with!
I've sometimes thought it would be nice if WMF could defend community copyrights in court, but that seems to be a very different discussion.
