Is there an easy way to tell which connections are from clients and
which are from other relays? One of the relays has a higher guard
probability; maybe that has something to do with it. Probably there is a
different distribution of versions among relays than among client,
especially when you account for bandwidth weighting (any relay
connecting to you is more likely to be fast than slow, which may mean
it's more likely to be newer than older).
