When you update to the latest version of Pages, Numbers or Keynote for iOS 7 you'll be warned upon opening apps that the file will be converted into the latest format that can only be opened in the latest version of the iWork app in question and that it will only be possible to open this on a desktop using Mavericks in combination with the updated versions of Pages, Numbers or Keynote.
