Well, I did an apk version -v and all the package versions in the right column are the same as the installed ones. Ostensibly I have the latest packages.
When one does a sys install, does apk pull down the latest packages from the interwebs?

You get the latest packages from the repositories that you have defined into /etc/apk/repositories file.
Note that there are 'main' and 'edge' repositories.

Were you by any chance referring to the upgrade process of switching to 3.4? In that case you'd have to run apk upgrade --available
