Circular Dependency when using ScopeConfigInterface in Constructor for certain objects

I was trying to read some backend config using the ScopeConfigInterface.

di.xml
< preference for="Magento\Framework\Logger\Monolog" type="Foo\Log\Helper\Data" /  > 

public function __constructor(
    Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $config
) {
   config->getValue('dev/debug/remote_server_host');
}

Error:::
Circular dependency: Magento\Config\Model\Config\Backend\Encrypted depends on Magento\Framework\Model\Context and vice versa.

When I use the same code, but using another preference in di.xml I can read the config as expected.

Example
(just for testing)
< preference for="Magento\Cms\Controller\Index\Index" type="Foo\Log\Helper\Data" / >

Is this an issue with dependency compiliation because it is only possible to use ScopeConfigInterface on certain objects?

Thanks
