I was also experiencing the same problem: anytime I used a different app, Pandora would quit playing and have to restart at a different song. It would seem you have to remove the app from Battery Optimization. This is the fix that worked for me:

Please ensure that you have your device set to allow Pandora to run in the background.

Please ensure that you have your device set to allow Pandora to run in the background.
- From the home screen or app drawer press and hold the Pandora icon.
- Tap the "i" icon to access the App info.
- Next select Advanced, then Battery.
- Confirm that Background restriction is set to "App can use battery in background".
If Background restriction states "Restricted", tap on Background restriction to remove restriction.
