We found a notice to update the FAQ module on our Drupal installation to version 6.x-1.11 from the current version 6.x-1.10. The new version of the FAQ module is a required security update. We installed the update to ~/sites/all/modules, put the site in maintenance mode, and ran ~/update.php. However, we continue to see the old version listed on the Available Updates page. For some reason, the security update is not being installed.

We are worried that this may leave the site vulnerable. Can you please look into this?

For me it seems that you forgot to owerwrite the old version of the module or you have a duplicated module somewhere. Try re-downloading version 6.x-1.11, put the site to mainteninance mode, remove the old faq directory from sites/all/modules then verify that you really copy the new version to the folder instead of the old one. It may happen that you have both 6.x-1.10 and 6.x-1.11 next to each other in your download directory and you copied back the old one.

@bigsurs: is this still a problem? The answer fleetcommand gave is pretty accurate. You can't have different versions of the same module within the modules directory. Likewise if you have a version in sites/all/modules and another in sites/example.com/modules (when using a multisite setup), then the version of the module in the sites/example.com/modules directory will be used instead of the one in sites/all/modules.
