My project has dependency on a jar that depends on akka version 2.5.6. For some reason my project is pulling in an older version of akka 2.4.16.

Output of 

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose=true

com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.11:jar:2.4.16:compile (version managed from 2.5.6)

Output of 

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose | grep akka

[INFO] |  +- com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.11:jar:2.4.16:compile (version managed from 2.5.6)
[INFO] |  +- com.typesafe.akka:akka-slf4j_2.11:jar:2.4.16:compile (version managed from 2.5.6)
[INFO] |  |  +- (com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.11:jar:2.4.16:compile - version managed from 2.5.6; omitted for duplicate)

There is no transitive dependency on akka anywhere else. Why is this happening?

The version number comes from the <dependencyManagement>, either from a direct entry, or from a so-called BOM, i.e. as entry of a POM that was imported with <scope>import</scope>.
