That's the version of ESXi. The version of the embedded host client is different. Please show that version.

From the embedded host client UI at https://<FQDN>/ui go to Help -> About. Or from a shell run esxcli software vib list | grep esx-ui

I saw this with another user in the past. Try updating your host client to v1.24 from the Flings site here and see if it persists.
