Because each workflow in compiling its worklist queries the catalog
ONLY based on 'review_state' (per default at least). So if you use the
state name 'pending' in different workflows you will get this behavior.
Personally I consider this a bug in the design of DC Workflow since
each workflow COULD know which content types he is responsible
for but obviously doesn't care.

The dirtiest hack around would be to use different names for the
pending state in different workflows (not recommended).
More cleanly you could add a 'Guard' where in the expression you
specify the approprite content type(s) - or whatever.
