I had the same problem.
In case you are still struggling: open synaptic->settings->repositories->PPAs->Add a new PPA-> ppa:libreoffice/ppa
Once you update now and execute apt-cache madison libreoffice you will see the new packages.
Cliff: I added multiple ppas until now per cli, but this one didn't want to be added that way.
EDIT: This only solved the problem of not being able to add the repo to the list... For the solution look at OPs and my other replies, i.e.

I wonder if Synaptic automagically fixes the pinning, and that's what's going on here.

No, I was mistaken. I only had the problem of not being able to add a new repo, which is really strange behaviour.
Anyway, you were right with your pinning hypothesis:
cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/* Package: * Pin: origin build.linuxmint.com Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-gwendal-lebihan-dev-cinnamon-nightly Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: origin download.virtualbox.org Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release o=linuxmint Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: origin packages.linuxmint.com Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release o=Ubuntu Pin-Priority: 500

I see the new packages but I don't know how to install them. I see 4.4 and 5.0 packages.

If all else fails, you can just specify the version you want (didn't try it, but you do it by appending a "=" and the Version you want to have.).
sudo apt-get install libreoffice=1:5.0.0~rc5-0ubuntu1~trusty1
Your problem seems to be related to pinning... I didn't look deeper into it, but you might want to if you wan to have a more permanent solution.
EDIT: checked the command and corrected it.
