If you notice, it says the file version is GREATER than expected.

Q. Why am I getting incorrect security update reports from MBSA even
after I install updates flagged in the scan results?
A. Some security updates issued by Microsoft contain warnings or
workarounds for items that the tools cannot easily scan, such as
MS99-041, which did not include a patch, but rather a tool for users
to modify a specific service on their systems. These types of security
bulletins are referred to as "note" or "warning" messages. By default,
HFNetChk will display these "note" and "warning" messages, unless the
-s switch is used to suppress these messages. MBSA will also show
"note" messages by default, and they are marked with blue asterisks in
the scan reports to indicate that the tool could not confirm if the
security bulletin fix was applied. Even after users apply a specific
"note" security update, the tool will continue to include these
security bulletins in the scan results. For more information on "note"
messages, please see the following KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;306460&sd=tech.
In addition, users may see certain updates flagged as having greater
file versions than expected (noted by yellow X's in the scan report).
These warning messages are a result of files being updated by
non-security related updates after a previous security-related update
was applied to the system. MBSA V1.2 addresses many of these cases
through its use of alternate file versions, which allows multiple sets
of file details to be checked for a particular security update. This
set of file details can cover both files from security updates as well
as files from non-security updates.
