See my screenshot – What does the tower symbol mean in the bottom left? And/or how is it different from the symbol in the top right? I know the top right symbol and number means how many floors you have, but the symbol and number in the bottom left is clearly different…
The numbers at the bottom: Mine in the far left one and I have 17 floors. My friend is the middle one, and he has 40+ floors…

It still means the number of floors you each have. It doesn't automatically sync every time you look at that page - I have had it be behind as much as 5 floors early on when I was building a lot. I suspect it only syncs a certain number of times per day.
As for your friend - there may be a problem with him syncing - perhaps he isn't connecting to Game Center, or has been offline when it is syncing, so you wouldn't see his floors. I know that sometimes it takes a couple of days for that screen to match what I see when I view my friend's towers, or for it to match how many floors their game says they have.
