Please see

http://www.freeipa.org/page/Client#Compatibility

which describes our current compatibility constrains for "ipa" tool.

TLDR; your 3.3 clients should work just fine regarding to FreeIPA services
(identity, authentication, authorization, sudo, ...). But when you want to use
the "ipa" tool, you would either need to use the one on the FreeIPA server or
use one from other CentOS 6 FreeIPA client (or use the Web UI).
