Not a problem at all.
You have just received the new passport from your embassy. Obviously, Jawazat doesn't know.

Keep the old passport along.On Airport, give them the old passport and the exit re-rentry paper. If they happen to notice the cancellation stamp, show them the new one and tell them that you have not done Information transfer (Naqal Maloomat) yet.

Safe Trip, keep us posted,
