What I expect:
localhost means 127.0.0.1 if IPv4 is available OR ::1 if IPv6 is available.
This is a logical OR, that means booth at the same time are possible.

there's no magic to the name localhost, its just a hostname like any other.

whats in your /etc/hosts file?

I've seen systems where localhost is 127.0.0.1 and localhost6 is ::1... RHEL systems come that way.

127.0.0.1           localhost.localdomain localhost
::1                 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
