Any function hooked to the save_post
hook will run whenever you save a post. That is expected behaviour.
You should use the hook save_post_{$post->post_type}
to specify to which post type that callback is asociated. That way, it will only be called when saving a post of type {$post->post_type}
See the hook documentation
