Then you probably missed that part in the wiki page:
---
a postgresql-old-upgrade package is available that will always run one
major version behind the real PostgreSQL package. This can be installed
side-by-side with the new version of PostgreSQL.
---

Upgrading your system (after shutting down postgresql) and installing
postgresql-old-upgrade should give you /opt/pgsql-9.6/, your current
psql version, and /usr/bin/psql, your target version (10.6). From there,
following the wiki should permit you to upgrade the data to the target
version.
