To install mongodb 2.6 you'll need to follow this tutorial: http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu

After adding the public key,

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10

the differentiating step is adding this source:

echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

Then you can install 2.6 with 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

When I ran this installation on Ubuntu I get 2.6.8. You can check by using

mongod --version

If you enter apt-cache show <pkgname> it will give you a list of versions that are available form your package repository.

Try: apt-cache show mongodb-org.

If you enter apt-cache show mongodb-org | grep Version it will show you only the version numbers.

If you get "E: No packages found", you need to create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list as described on the page you linked first, then run sudo apt-get update.
