I just checked the main site and it is in sync with the mirror I use (both show 5.4 and 4.11). You might try reloading the main page from your browser--depending on the browser you use you may have to hold a key down when you reload/refresh to actually reload the page from the net rather than the cache. I may be going out on a limb here speaking about things of which I know little, but I would say that the situation you describe would be highly unlikely because I suspect that the mirror pages are direct copies of the main site, not individually updated pages (i.e only the main site is actually edited then it is copied over to the mirrors--hence virtually impossible for the mirrors to be more up to date than the main site.
