aspect version prints the version of the Aspect CLI that runs in the current directory.
aspect on your PATH is a launcher. It reads .aspect/version.axl, fetches that CLI version, and hands the command to it. aspect --version (or -v) is answered by the launcher before any of that happens, so it reports the launcher’s version whatever the repository pins.
