If you get to the right spot, but Khadgar isn't there, you're in the wrong timeline for the Blasted Lands. Fly to the north of the zone, talk to Zidormi and reset to the current time.
This is an alternate version of Warlords of Draenor: The Dark Portal, which caused a huge bottleneck as soon as 6.0.3 hit because too many people were trying to click on Archmage Khadgar in the Blasted Lands at the same time. The result was a huge, annoying circus. Because of the trouble people were having, Blizzard brought more servers on line and put additional copies of Archmage Kadgar in Org, Stormwind and the capitals in Pandaria. The various Archmage Kadgars offered this version of the breadcrumb quest. The additional Archmage Kadgars were removed in 6.2, I think.
Having this version of the breadcrumb quest in your logbooks didn't prevent the character from picking up the pre-launch (6.0.1) quests in the Blasted Lands like the normal version did.
