I believe that the tools you use all use the same backend for patch management (a Microsoft-provided XML file), meaning that they will all be right at the same time, or wrong at the same time. If the DLL installed on the remote hosts has the old version set, then it means the patch has not been fully installed. Try to manually (re)install it on one of the systems and see if that solves the problem.
