Cash on Delivery with shipping method restriction now working as the default payment method

Prerequisites

[X] I have carried out troubleshooting steps and I believe I have found a bug.
[X] I have searched for similar bugs in both open and closed issues and cannot find a duplicate.

Describe the bug

I've been working on an issue where you would expect Cash on Delivery to be the default payment method. This only happens when using the Enable for shipping methods restrictions.

Expected behavior

Now, in theory, a customer should get geolocated to a shipping zone that has Free Shipping as the default. Then since Free Shipping enables Cash on Delivery if I head to checkout I should see Cash on Delivery as my default.

Actual behavior

In reality, I am not seeing this. It will always default to my second payment method even though Cash on Delivery appears first and would be the default.

As soon as I remove the Enable for shipping methods restrictions this works.

Steps to reproduce

Here is the setup for this scenario.

Have geolocation enabled.
Set up any shipping method in a zone where you will be geolocated as your default shipping method, free shipping in my case.
Setup Cash on Delivery as your default payment method.
In Cash on Delivery settings in the Enable for shipping methods enable "Any free shipping method".
Go through the purchase process in a private browser, or clear out all sessions on your site before starting.
