I think it’s mainly because the 633 isn’t a jumping wing and may cause damage if you bloch the landing. Also the 683s is a newer wing.

Not sure I understand your question. Are you suggesting some wings jump higher than others?
A bigger wing might give you a better pop, but pop only will not take you very high. For jumping speed is the most important thing as this will give more power to your kite which is the main factor for height and hang time. So bigger slower wing not the best solution and that's without even mentioning landings.
