I just did a clean install of Yosemite, then installed the El Capitan beta. Since I have a developer account, I just installed it from my purchased tab in the App Store. After the install, it does not show that any updates are available. I was expecting it to install DP1 and then upgrade to DP3, but instead, it's not showing anything new. Is it possible that it already installed DP3? I am not sure, kind of hard to tell. Is there any way to know? Thanks.

yes it installs the latest build from the app store link, you can also check 'About This Mac' and it should say "10.11 Beta (15A216g)" for DP beta 3 build.

The App Store would download the most recent version that's in DP.

don't worry, it's a bug that's been there since DP beta 1 where it sometimes shows the wrong version, closing it re-opening the about this mac window a few times should eventually show the right thing.

Here is a screenshot from About This Mac where you can see it says "Version 10.11 Beta (15A216g)". If yours looks like this, you're running beta 3.
