This is expected. The Guix repository contains a package definition for
“guix”, which is a particular version, which necessarily must be older
than the version of Guix you’ve pulled.
The “guix” package can be used as a library by other packages, and it is
updated occasionally.
If you really do need to build the current version of Guix with Guix
then do
guix build -e '((@ (gnu packages package-management) current-guix))'
There are only few valid use cases that require one to build the latest
version of Guix that are not served better by using “guix pull”.
