This seems to be caused by mobi's archaic standards. The cover is not easily identified from the basic html code. If you were dealing with epub the cover is easier to identify and often will be updated during save to disk or send to device and as dwig has stated Sigil is a very easy tool for basic changes to any epub book.

Have you tried checking "Remove first image" under Preferences - Common Options - structure detection? This will remove the first image in a book during conversion, usually the cover.

That's the extent of my vast knowledge.

Good Luck.
