Talos after all is the hero god of mankind, this kind of implies that his worship is exclusive and I don't know any other divine that is exclusive to only a few races. Also the most common explaination for why the Thalmor bans the worship of Talos is because the Thalmor believes that they are decsendents of divines and  they don't like the fact that humans can ascend to divinity as well. But the whole Talos thing does imply that only humans can ascend to godhood. I can't remember who exactly but someone in Skyrim says that they worship Talos in the hope that they may one day follow in his footsteps. Can't remember the exact way they said it though.
