AFAIK, it shouldn't show up on bgp table if you are filtering inbound to you.
Do a sh ip bgp a.b.c.d/affectedaddr please.

Remember that Cisco's bgp implementation is scan-based, so it takes a bit of
time for policy changes to kick in. Try doing 'clear ip bgp w.x.y.z in' in an
attempt to speed it up.
