You will not be able to update Software Center via the official repositories.

I don't believe that you will be able to use version 4 of the Software Center in maverick. It hasnt been backported.

The software store developers produce a daily build - as the name suggests, its not tested, but contains the latest changes on a day-to-day basis. However, I dont see any evidence that that has built successfully for sometime.

I would contact the software-center developers themselves (file a bug report via that link) if there was any intention to have version 4 available for maverick. Its probable that it is just a recipe build packaging mistake by the maintainer Michael Vogt.
