You're right about the passion aspect. And honestly if their passion drives them to naturally exploring all aspects, then wouldn't that same kind of passion be what brings them to a senior level? It's not so much boxes to tick as that growth mindset that elevates people beyond that mid-level role. Every company is different and, frankly, so is every manager. But someone who is an expert in one tier, knowledgable in the others, and radiates desire to grow and help other's grow, they're going to be a Sr in pretty much any company that has such a title.
