Cocoapods is installing old Pod version

Question

I'm using RxSwift and other Rx-pods in my app, according to my Podfile.lock I use RxSwift (3.2.0), but now I want to update the Pods to the latest versions.

So I remove the 4 Rx..-pods that I use from my Podfile, and run pod install, this removed the pods from the project and the Podfile.lock. The I re-add the 4 Rx..-pods and run pod instalagain. This installs RxSwift 2.6.1... Why? - I'm expecting it to install the newest stable version of RxSwift, something like 3.6.1..

I tried removing everything listed by: gem list --local | grep cocoapods and reinstalling cocoapods by running: gem install cocoapods

I also tried running pod repo update without success.

I also tried just running pod update, without uninstalling the Pods first, also same outcome.

I suspect this to be an issue with my cocoapods-gem, not The Rx-pods..

Edit added Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '9.0'
# Uncomment this line if you're using Swift
use_frameworks!

target 'MyApp' do
    pod 'BrightFutures'
    pod 'Alamofire'
    pod 'MBProgressHUD'
    pod 'Fabric'
    pod 'Crashlytics'
    pod 'Analytics', '~> 3.0'
    pod 'SwiftyJSON'
    pod 'Eureka', '~> 2.0.0-beta.1'
    pod 'RxCocoa'
    pod 'RxSwift'
    pod 'INTULocationManager'
    pod 'ReachabilitySwift', '~> 3'
    pod 'RxSwiftExt'
    pod 'RxMKMapView'
end

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '3.0'
        end
    end
end
