This has no effect on the existing environments, because one or more existing packages provide the necessary constraint on py-pandas. But it surfaced as a necessary requirement when building just py-lis-ncoda-utils.

But @mathomp4 may have to remove/relax that constraint in his PR, which updates py-numpy and py-xarray (these two packages, currently held back to versions several years old, require an older py-pandas).
