I have pandoc 1.12.2.1 and it recognizes the figure directive just fine 
(tested with html output so I cannot say anything about LaTeX).

I've found an old forum post from 2011:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandoc-discuss/OmGYDycaMjs

confirming that the figure directive was not supported at that time.
So, yes, I think upgrading pandoc could help.

Best,
Wolfgang
