now I understand, thanks.

Just say "This file needs Org development version" and remove this
message when it is not true anymore (after the next release).

(Note that, historically, I think all the features from the git dev
version go to the release.)

I don't see the real need for something complicated.  Just say that the
.org file needs current head until it's not true anymore.  If you don't
want to have to update this message, say

(insert "This file needs " (org-version))

If the needed version is a release version, it will look like

  This file needs Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5)

otherwise it will look like 

  This file needs Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.71.g58e351)

where the ".71.g58e351" say it's one of the git commit in current
development version.

HTH,
