Resource selection is generic, not tied to the resource type. This
selection makes sense for drawables, so it is correct.
As a general rule for density configurations, I strongly recommend not
mixing specific densities with generic values. Since all densities are a
potential match, as you see here it can lead to results you don't want.
Also doing what you are doing is unusual, to say the least. Generally one
would do this as a dimension resource, so it can be expressed as "10dp" or
whatever and thus automatically scaled for the density. (In that case you
would just have one generic value, not specifying different values for
different densities.)
