If you're sure your cover is a legitimate one, you might check the book edit info as most of the covers are supplied not by Goodreads users but Amazon, Amazon.uk, etc.
Don't think this really answers your question.
If both covers are "correct" maybe you could manually add your own edtion with its cover and then combine editions?
I don't know the official answer here - just some thoughts.

Unfortunately, I don't think personal preference alone is reason enough to change a record.
However, Jason, if there is a completely different cover for a title I would do as Lisa mentioned and create 'new' edition and then combine it with other editions. I'm all for having the different covers represented.
Again, this is just how I understand it.

(To get an idea of some known places where it does happen.)
I also have a shelf on my profile called "second-cover", which tracks anything where I know I have a different cover than the (apparently correct) one shown.
