There are procedures in dropbox to get back files when they're in a conflict state. I'm sorry I don't know them, but others do. If you can find the correct metadata.db, all you have to do is put it in the right place (be careful when you do this, as you will have to overwrite what's there now -save all your files). Once the right metadata.db is in your library, you should make sure that Calibre is pointed to that library location (Check Preferences.)
If Calibre is complaining about your metadata.db, however, your metadata.db may be corrupted.
After you get your best metadata.db in the right place, and get Calibre pointed to it, you should probably run the database integrity option in Preferences.
You may want to search for the dropbox threads here. They should give you some idea of how to recover.
