I was making a Conjurer wizard, and I just noticed this, and I was wondering if this was a mistake in the Core Rulebook:

Summon Monster II is capable of summoning Giant Ant Drones, and Summon Monster III is capable of summoning Giant Ant Soldiers, but according to the Bestiary, a drone is the Soldier with the Advanced template applied and a fly speed. This means that the Drone is CR 3 and the Soldier is CR 2. So Summon Monster II is capable of summoning a more powerful version of something that Summon Monster III can?

And this goes for Summon Nature's Ally II and III as well.

All I can say is. . . oops. They must have meant the worker in the SM II spell. It's clearly a mistake looking at the CRs of other monsters.

If it is a mistake, it should be post in the Core Rulebook errata thread otherwise you risk Paizo not noticing the error.
