After several reroutes; the crew followed the second reroute arrival rather than the third reroute clearance. The transition routes were similar but had different crossing altitudes which resulted in an altitude crossing restriction not being met.

Narrative:
Was initially cleared to seevr via jrhed and seevr 2 arrival. Received 2 weather re-routes on the ground [before departing]; and received 2 more once airborne. One changing our arrival to jrhed via seevr for brdje 2 arrival. The brdje 2 was loaded in the FMS. Was complying with altitude restrictions on brdje arrival crossing seevr at 20;000. ATC then queried which arrival we were flying and our altitude. Discovered the wrong clearance; ATC had us do a 360 and put us on the proper arrival. Flew the balance of the seevr 2 arrival.[the departure airport] was overwhelmed with delays and re-routes due to weather. We needed to ask for clarification 3 times as did other aircraft. We needed to be more proactive after enroute changes to confirm the proper arrival.
