I just went to
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
and it looks like the test builds are older than the latest version. How is that?

If you are referring to there being no 6.1.x test builds, maybe there's a website glitch? I seem to remember someone trying 6.1.1 recently, which would seem to indicate a test build by the odd final version number, though that may have been a typo or fatfinger.
The test builds page does say there's channels to contact the developers if something on the page seems wrong.

The test builds are being built on a new-feature/bug-fix-to-test basis, not constantly. So, if a release takes place, and there's no need to test a feature or a bug fix, the test builds are going to be older than the release.
Scott: as for the 6.1.x test builds, just try the "Development Snapshots" and see what the filename looks like...
When there will be a 6.2.x as a development version, I expect a separate table with the 6.1.x entries.
