That is all fine - don't be confused by the string 20180716 appearing in
multiple places: that is still the latest release and the official
package version, even if you build from master. What must be different
is what you get from ./neomutt -v, which should be similar to:

NeoMutt 20180716-2150-860350

The last number is the (short version of the) git hash for the commit
you're running on. In my example:

$ git show 860350

commit 860350f5d8807170720f62f02393973a4b67e1c3 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

Author: Richard Russon <rich at flatcap.org>

Date:   Tue Jul 2 13:43:02 2019 +0100

    notify: fix leak on exit


Please try to build from your checkout and see what ./neomutt -v 
reports.
