Most probably you have local copy of the README or the patch zip file around, 
which PCA finds and uses. In an attempt to reduce the accesses to Oracle's patch 
server (to speed things up), pca and pca-proxy.cgi will deliver local copies if 
available.

You can force pca to ignore local copies by using "--force". Using that, you 
will get the up-to-date copy.
