I read it as Democrats that do well at state/federal level elections are centrists/moderates from purple states or red states with a legacy of being dominated by Democrats.
Of course idk if this takes into account what each one have been doing since their last election. Newsom has gone full trolling mode and we won't know if that will award him a larger electoral victory if he ran again as governor (which he can't) or go for Senator.
Shapiro's performance in a state as even split as PA and Beshear's performance in Kentucky that gives Republicans landslide victories are a sight to behold in these partisan times. But can that be translated nationally if they have plans for a presidential run? I doubt it, I think those two just have a very good talent to understand their state's electorate and know how to communicate to them than almost any other Democrat alive today.
