As you don't include a minimal example exhibiting your problem, one
can only guess.

You are probably doing the common error of placing the \label command
before the \caption.  Since an exhibit may contain more than one
caption, it is the captions that get numbered, not the exhibits.  For
that reason the label just refers to the current section (which at
the time of the label is the outermost referable entity).

Place the label after the caption.
