Say I have an XML element
<data type="number">10</data>
Can an XML schema validate the contents of the data tag based on the value of an attribute?

(xsi:type) and the data types defined in the specification (schema data
types) then yes e.g.
<data
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:type="xs:integer">10</data>
Of course with complete documents you would move the namespace
declarations up on the root element so you don't have to put them on
each element.
