I think you must have some complicated apt line... (maybe with some
experimental or external sites)
I do not see 2.24 in my sid box. Source Package gnome-desktop:

* sid (x11): 2.22.3-2
Binary packages: gnome-about, gnome-desktop-data, libgnome-desktop-2, libgnome-desktop-dev
We at Debian are in freeze mode. So we do not update packages randomly
in unstable. Our focus is next release. This is how Debian works.
