Note that arbiters will always return the previous version for FCV by design

      For https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/setFeatureCompatibilityVersion/#dbcmd.setFeatureCompatibilityVersion

       In SERVER-37049, Tess wrote:

      Arbiters always have the downgrade value of FCV, regardless of the FCV of the replica set. So if the arbiter has binary version 3.6, it will always have FCV=3.4. They never learn the FCV, since they do not replicate the admin.system.version collection. Arbiters' behavior is not allowed to depend on FCV for this reason.

      We should add a small section titled "Arbiters" to explain that this is expected behaviour since it can unexpected.
