Could someone update the GNU Octave in the EPEL repository to the
current version 3.6.4?

Can't. The EPEL6 branch is at 3.4.3, and a version upgrade is not
really allowed in the EPEL guidelines.

Why not?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#A_major_version_update

Only mentions ABI changes or incompabilities.  Is this newer version known
to be incompatible in some way?

Yes, it is ABI in-compatible.
