The version of Org in ELPA is "maint", not master.  The "maint" branch
tracks the released version plus any bugfixes between releases and it's
currently 39 commits ahead of release_8.2.7c (the version in ELPA
actually is 25 versions ahead since it's two days old).  The bleeding
edge version of Org is "master" and is currently 1342 commits ahead of
release_8.2.7c.

To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing (yes I did look it up
again just now to be sure), Org does not provide packages for bleeding
edge at all; not on GNU ELPA and not on orgmode.org.  Bleeding edge is
primarily provided through Git, but there's a daily snapshot tarball of
the "master" tree for those who can't use Git.
