If you replace the book with a new copy that has changed metadata, the book isn't reprocessed to get the updated metadata. There isn't a way to fix this at the moment other than deleting the book from the device first.

I'm not sure if deleting is all that is required, or maybe "deleting" is to ambiguous.
I'm not sure if this is related but...
I often need to update a book using calibre. If I do the following, Kobo doesn't see the book:
1) delete the book on the Kobo
2) plug in the Kobo
2) Start calibre (calibre shows the book isn't on the device)
3) send the book to the Kobo (using send from calibre)
4) eject and unplug the Kobo
The book doesn't show up on the Kobo .
If I do the following:
1) delete the book on the Kobo
2) plug the Kobo in
3) eject and unplug the Kobo
4) wait for it to finish processing content
5) plug the device in'
6) use calibre to transfer the book
7) eject
The book appears on the Kobo .
So now I always do an extra plug/unplug cycle. I needed to this on the Touch, so now I do it on the Glo. This maybe voodoo, but it works.
