You can get a condenser mic that has cardioid directional characteristics.

You can also get omnidirectional dynamic mics.

It is more likely to be the Sensitivity specification of the large diaphragm condenser mic that is allowing the mic to pickup all of those background sounds better.

And, if the condenser is a Large Diaphragm Condenser, they are typically going to be more sensitive than the medium or small, simply due to the added surface area of the diaphragm.

Sometimes use of the Mic Pad control on the preamp or mixer's input can be put to good use when the mic is overly sensitive.
