I think you will be able to solve this problem be setting the zorder of
each patch collection in the object returned by the call to contourf,
something like this:
CS = contourf(Z)
for col in CS.collections:
col.set_zorder(2.5)
The default zorder for solids is 2, so I expect that is what the filled
continents are; boosting the patch collections to 2.5 should ensure they
are above the continents.
