It's saying this because you're missing the Zones command features
that went back into build 44.

There are no patches created for Nevada, and the gap you're talking
about is just too large.

See:

If you have sources around, you might be able to take the zoneadm and
zonecfg changes from build 44 and backport them to build 36, but I
think you're on your own in that.  (And there've been bug fixes since
then, which is while the requirement listed is build 53.)
