Any location block that processes PHP files needs to contain all of the fastcgi parameters and directives. See this document on request processing.

I have not tested this, but you should be able to use a map directive to select the appropriate value for the add_header statement.

For example:

map $request_uri $cc {
    ~^/wp-admin  "no-store";
    default      "public";
}

server {
    ...
    location ~ \.php$ {
        add_header Cache-Control $cc;
        ...
    }
}

See this document for details.
