Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([['a',1.,2.],['b',3.,4.]])
df.loc[0,[1,2]].dtypes
df[[1,2]].loc[0].dtypes

Issue Description

df.loc[0,[1,2]] results in a Series of type dtype('O'), while df[[1,2]].loc[0] results in a Series of type dtype('float64').

Expected Behavior

I would expect df.loc[0,[1,2]] to have a float64 type, which df[[1,2]].loc[0] does. The current behavior seems to encourage chaining instead of canonical referencing.
