the problem in your case is that you have an object named 'SmoothData'
with a nested component named 'span', but you're testing for the
existence of an object named 'SmoothData$span'.
as shown in a recent post, one attempt to do your task would be
exists('SmoothData') && 'span' %in% names(SmoothData)
# TRUE
