If you do your shelves manually and don't use calibre, but they aren't kepubs, then it's the sync with kobo that's messed you up. I used to have that happen all the time before I changed to only manage the shelves of my kepubs and library books manually and epubs with calibre.
I think what happens is the kobo server doesn't actually keep track of anything but kepubs. So sometimes it thinks it's "updating" and what it's really doing is kicking things off shelves.
It still occasionally happens that the kobo server does this to me, BUT since calibre now knows which shelves all my epubs are on, the only ones I have to manually fix are the library books I've loaded through ADE. As soon as I realise books have been kicked off shelves, I just connect to calibre and it throws them back onto their shelves for me. Then if I have library books out, I add them back manually and since I usually have 3 or less out at once, it's not too bad.
I realise your system might make using calibre for shelves annoying (since you want to move books from TBR to Read without having to connect to your computer) and based on your system, it might be annoying all in itself trying to get a system that isn't time consuming, but I'm pretty sure it's the Kobo server that is causing your issue. I've watched it happen so many times.
