If you keep getting kicked because the server is running an *older* version, go to console and type pb_security 0
I had to type it again after about 5 minutes of play, then it stuck.
This is only if you go to a server that hasn't auto updated, and you get a warning for PB Server running an older version than you.

Here's the paragraph from Punkbuster FAQ:
Why does PB spam "PB Server running Old Version" on some servers and how do I make it stop?
Some PB Server admins are not able or willing to fix their firewall so that their PunkBuster server can keep itself always auto-updated to the latest version. Therefore, when a new PB update comes out, their server(s) will continue running the old version until updated manually. When players join a PB Server that is running an old version, that old PB will try to 'downgrade' each player's PB to match the old version running at that server and the "PB Server running Old Version" message is generated every few seconds during this process. We encourage players to avoid servers like this as PB often does not work efficiently nor catch the latest cheats when old versions are running. If the attempts to 'downgrade' your PB fail, then you will be kicked. If you trust the server admin, you can enter "pb_security 0" into your console to allow your PB to be downgraded. If you know how to get in touch with the admin, please let him/her know of the problems caused by not having a properly functioning / auto-updating PB Server.
