Calibre says that your firmware is newer than the driver supports.

It's not hard to say. I believe the last time you could have connected to calibre an not have gotten that warning when connecting was version 0.8.59, because that warning was inserted in 0.8.60

Bug Fixes
- Kobo driver: Do not perform write operations on the Kobo database if its version is newer than the latest version the driver supports, for safety
|
As theducks stated calibre will still send books to your device fine. I think the auto-metadata management may not work because for the safety of your Kobo's database calibre will not write directly to it until the driver is updated.
If you wish to return to version 0.8.59 simply download it from
Sourceforge. Find the calibre directory that has the calibre.exe file and delete that folder then execute the msi file downloaded from sourceforge. Since there is no major calibre database change it is just that simple. There will be no orphaned folders or files doing it this way.

As stated previously your Kobo will work fine with the latest version of calibre. It will work exactly as every eReader works with calibre except for what was stated in the warning. You may have to update collections and delete books via your device.
Personally if I had a Kobo I would be using the latest version of calibre because a fix for showing Kobo books on device was included. Additionally you wouldn't be chancing possible corruption of the database on your Kobo.
Good Luck.
