Based on my experience, the update will fail if your Kindle is in the process of indexing a book. If you have recently downloaded a book that your Kindle hasn't finished indexing or if the Clean My Mac's deletions triggered a re-index the update will fail.

Check to see if there is any background indexing in progress (search for a non-findable string such as "qqqkkkqqq" and see if the response states that there are any unindexed items) and only update when there are none.
