This is because the Version header was last bumped in 2017, so the new
version has not been released on GNU ELPA yet:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/commit/queue.el?h=externals/queue&id=c9ec2e33f26b068c40b8391e91a7839546fa8355

Maybe it's time to release a new version with the cl-lib changes added
by Stefan Monnier in 2021?  Copying in Stefan M and Toby to hear what
they think.
