Section 6.1 says:

          IF (originatorInfo is present) AND
             ((any certificates with a type of other are present) OR
             (any crls with a type of other are present))
          THEN version is 4
          ELSE
             IF ((originatorInfo is present) AND
                (any version 2 attribute certificates are present)) OR
                (any RecipientInfo structures include pwri) OR
                (any RecipientInfo structures include ori)
             THEN version is 3
             ELSE
                IF (originatorInfo is absent) OR
                   (unprotectedAttrs is absent) OR
                   (all RecipientInfo structures are version 0)
                THEN version is 0
                ELSE version is 2

It should say:

          IF (originatorInfo is present) AND
             ((any certificates with a type of other are present) OR
             (any crls with a type of other are present))
          THEN version is 4
          ELSE
             IF ((originatorInfo is present) AND
                (any version 2 attribute certificates are present)) OR
                (any RecipientInfo structures include pwri) OR
                (any RecipientInfo structures include ori)
             THEN version is 3
             ELSE
                IF (originatorInfo is absent) AND
                   (unprotectedAttrs is absent) AND
                   (all RecipientInfo structures are version 0)
                THEN version is 0
                ELSE version is 2
