A closer look at that output will show that munsters OSPF priority is set to
0, thereby making it ineligible for election. Otherwise, you would find
that it would fill a BDR role as you expected - assuming munster would be
set to the default priority of 1, equal to the other router, leaving RID as
the tie break and munster losing the the 254 router vs its 251 :)
