You can find out more about what's happening by figuring out the paths things are running from.  In bash you can try:

type -a yt-dlp

which might give you something like:

yt-dlp is /home/YOURLOGINNAME/.local/bin/yt-dlp
yt-dlp is /usr/bin/yt-dlp

indicating that you have it installed from two different sources: pip and apt.

Then you can run

~/.local/bin/yt-dlp --version

and

/usr/bin/yt-dlp --version

I get the same from both: 2023-07-06:

~ $ ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp --version
2023.07.06
~ $ /usr/bin/yt-dlp     --version
2023.07.06
