I think the world outside the tower has higher desnity of shinsoo in some places compared to the tower. If you compare Urek to Baam, the obvious conclusion would be that Urek spent a lot of time fighting in the outside world and grew very powerful, while Baam spent all that time locked in a cave and barely have experience being around other people. Considering the cave Baam was in had the crest of Zahard, I'm pretty sure the ten families exist on the outside as well, and that the entrance may well be a place that is guarded and kept secret by the Zahard family. So Baam may well be connected to the Zahard family, but not to the King. Take this into account and the difference in power levels on the irregulars makes much more sense. Urek might actually have been an extremely powerful fighter on the outside. Phantaminum may well be as mysterious to the outsiders as he was to the citizens inside the tower. So when Urek saw him he probably was impressed and wanted to fight him and followed him into the tower, like his story says he did.

Also, one of my theories have always been that the tower isn't something that is visible on the surface on the outside, but actually under the surface and pointed downwards and you actually start at what would have been the top. That would also explain why Baam entered from a cave. Or anyone who enters from the top actually is teleported down to the first floor. Either way, the top of the tower might actually be the way out into the outside world. Hey measured fandom user, That's actually interesting theories (except for the shinsoo outside the tower as TonySansNom made the remarq). My only comment on those is : I hope we'll get answers rather than theorizing in a vacuum.

As for an update on previous conciderations, already Baam absorbing the souls and defeating "not complete" White was a little trolling from SIU to us who try to "forcast" Baam's abilities, while SIU clearly seems to favor large lips of power when needed (and after all, the aim of  tower of God is for Baam to be on par with top High-Rankers, when we see how high rankers fight, it's not much). Besides thanks to GoG we discovered that at the same floor/stage/level, Urek was already far stronger than GoG, hence Baam, meaning that, as an irregular, Baam is not at all "THAT"  talented. Also there's this "moral" dilemna of learning that his "inside power" is one that consums others' (which gives an interesting twist/moral dilemna to the shonen hero trope). So we have the confirmation that what comes next is unpredictable, how strong would Baam become if he gets other "shards" of the Thorn ? How much thanks to his inner" glutony" when Baam gets more and more powerful allies and enemies ? As a bonus, Urek and "Zahard and the 10 warriors' story" promised that revolution road "changed everything", we already know it's thanks to the GoG, what would happen if Baam finish his training with him ?

So indeed we're at an interesting time concidering Baam's power in the story, now break or impress, it all depends on S.I.U.'s story.
