I haven't attempted this, but if calibre-server has the library opened in dropbox then the metadata.db will be locked and it will not be updated via any external device while locked.
If you search for conflicted copy in your dropbox folder I'm betting you find a few. These happen when another device updates something that is in use on the second device.
If you use dropbox to sync, only one device should be accessing the dropbox library at a time. You may want to consider a different method for syncing the folders. Preferably at a time when neither library is being used.
