No it isn't. I believe, the terminology "parent" and "base" type
should be considered same.

The type definition you're mentioning is,

<xsd:simpleType name="LotteryNumbers">
       <xsd:restriction>
           <xsd:simpleType>
               <xsd:list itemType="OneToNinetyNine"/>
           </xsd:simpleType>
           <xsd:length value="6"/>
       </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

The parent type (and it is simpleType in this case) of type
LotteryNumbers is the anonymous list type. The simpleType
OneToNinetyNine is the item type of this list (type).
