Why is my system telling me version 3.x is the latest when clearly there's a version 4 and even 5?

$ sudo apt-get install redis-server

redis-server is already the newest version (2:3.0.6-1ubuntu0.3).

running apt policy redis-server outputs:

redis-server: Installed: 2:3.0.6-1ubuntu0.3 Candidate: 2:3.0.6-1ubuntu0.3 Version table: *** 2:3.0.6-1ubuntu0.3 500 500 xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 xenial-security/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:3.0.6-1 500 500 xenial/universe amd64 Packages

I also ran sudo apt-get update to no avail. MY system (Ubuntu 16.04) insist 3 i the latest version. What can I do to fix this?
