A change like that would've been made already, this is the way it'll be staying.
The glass conatiners in the concept art are what the Collector has trapped the Guardians in. Nothing ever suggested that we, the guests, would be riding in those. We are breaking or sneaking into the tower to save the Guardians, in which case, it makes sense to hijack a freight evelator to get up. Taking the stairs wouldn't be very fun, would it?
The Collector doesn't "have us" riding in freight elevators. He didn't invite us.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually the story is that we "the guests" are invited by The Collector to see his new exhibit The Guardians of the Galaxy. Once inside Rocket convinces us to help him break out The Guardians and the rest of the exhibits and all hell breaks loose. This part has been confirmed by Disney.
This part is my assumption. What I assume the elevator portion is suppose to be is us going to the location where The Guardians are suppose to be housed. And that is where Rocket will "mess" with the system and cause the elevator to drop wildly.
But again back to the original point of your post, the glass cages in the rendition is for the exhibits. We are not the exhibits, we are suppose to be there to view the exhibits. The elevator is just that, an elevator.
