Specifically, I have a Ubuntu box that operates a Calibre content server.
It also shares the folder containing the library out to the home network.

For the purpose of updating the library:
I want to run Calibre interactively from a laptop, with Calibre referencing the library folder, shared from the content server.

Do I need to stop the content server for the time that I am running Calibre interactively on the laptop?

No doubt both the content server and the laptop need to be running the same version of Calibre.
