Try going to the *scratch* buffer, doing an M-x load-library org and evaluating the value of the sexp "org-version" (using C-j with the cursor placed immediately after it).
Does that give you a different result, or is it still 6.33x?

If you get the newer org installed and running,  I don't see a reason to manually "remove" the one that comes with Emacs, unless you've got space issues.

1. Did you restart Emacs?
2. If you remove (require 'org-install) does it help?
3. Emacs-24.1 (currently in pre-test) has the latest and greatest Org.
