Which bootloader do you use? If it's grub, do you have a setting for GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub (or some other file included from it)? Normally GRUB_DEFAULT is set to 0, which would be the 0th (first) entry, which is the most recent (highest version number). If you have it set to something else, or to "saved", that might explain that. If it is set to 0, is the newest kernel the actual top most entry in the generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg file?
