The installation of MongoDB is still unsuccessful on the BeagleBone Green card.

available for that architecture.
Plus the fact, that repository is for Debian Wheezy (aka Debian 7),
which is quite long in the tooth now. There's a version of MongoDB in
the repositories for Wheezy, but it's MongoDB 2.0.6 if you go the
standard version, or you can find 2.4.6 in backports.
I notice Jessie (aka Debian 8) has it available (version 2.4.10) for
`armhf`. Stretch jumps to version 3.2, which ought to support `armhf`,
however Debian have opted to not ship an `armhf` port in that release.
It's worth noting that both the BeagleBone and the Raspberry Pi (when
running in 32-bit mode) are both `armhf` architectures, so one option
might be to try the following:
http://koenaerts.ca/compile-and-install-mongodb-on-raspberry-pi/
Those instructions talk about compiling MongoDB 3.2. I note you were
trying to use a version 3.6 repository. That article gives a clue as to
why there isn't a MongoDB 3.6 binary available:
> The highest MongoDB version that will run on 32 bit is v3.2. As of MongoDB v3.4 only 64 bit versions are supported. MongoDB v3.2 is the latest version that you will be able to run on a 32 bit Raspbian. In addition, you will not be able to run MongoDB with the WiredTiger storage engine since it only works on 64 bit versions. You will have to start the DB with the MMAPv1 storage engine. Also MMAPv1 has a limit of 2GB of storage, at least on ARM32. Once your DB hits that limit, you’re out of luck.
The same will apply to standard BeagleBone distributions, as like
Raspbian, they are also 32-bit. So from where I sit, these are your
options:
1. Look around for some .deb packages that some kind soul may have
compiled for you for `armhf`. (I don't see any official repositories.)
2. Compile it yourself, using the above instructions
Both these; bear in mind, will mean your MongoDB install is
significantly hobbled. Probably not a big issue for the size of
database that you're likely to use on a BeagleBone, but worth remembering.
As the AM3358 is a 32-bit processor, you're not going to get an ARM64
build of Linux running, so anything newer than MongoDB 3.2 is out.

It's fair to say that MongoDB's authors aren't interested in supporting
32-bit platforms, otherwise you'd be able to build the later versions on
i386 and armhf too.
Given this, I'd be highly surprised if there was any motivation for them
to solve issues with MongoDB 3.2, which if isn't out of support, will be
so soon enough. So in my book, pursuing this a technical dead end.
Perhaps we need to review why you're installing MongoDB? You might be
better off with PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, or perhaps Redis,
rocksdb or whitedb, all of which are in the standard Debian repositories.

I tried to install MongoDB but still no solution, I am forced to use MongoDB so the only solution it to update the card to Debian 7 or 8 bearable Mongo, it's working?

"forced to use MongoDB", then the BBG isn't really a production option for you..

Please be aware of the following important caveat: you are building
for an unsupported architecture. The WiredTiger storage engine won't
run there (it requires 64-bit), and MMAPv1 is limited to only 1-2 GB
of data on 32-bit, total, depending on whether you are running
journaling, and we currently only support x86. So, please understand
that 32-bit ARM will never be a supported configuration, and there are
no assurances that the database will function correctly on such a
platform. The configuration that you generate here will not be
upstreamed or added to the main MongoDB sources.

Your best bet is to get an amd64, arm64, or ppc64el based device.
