Default action of package is install not upgrade.

If you look at the recipe you will see it uses the default call of:

package "nginx"

Personally I write my cookbooks to all use a attribute version that defaults 
to false, there by allowing me to choose my version only when needed.

All boxes build after your repo addition will get the new nginx.

Quick fix update the nginx ookbook to

package "nginx"
  action :install
end
