This is a good choice. To "call something into question" is to "dispute" or "argue with" it in this case. Another example: "Your ability as a teacher is not being called into question: we know you're a great teacher!".
This isn't a good example of "to call someone into question". We could say "the police called me in for questioning" if the police made you go to the station and answer their questions!
