Not really. Calibre's whole point is book management; it's therefore meant to be a main repo (database + filesystem), accessed through its various interfaces (GUI, CLI, content server).
Once you include Calibre into your process, your previous repo's books should be discarded once imported in Calibre (that's a manual operation, Calibre won't do it for you).
You can, of course, keep your current directory structure. Once your scripts populate them again, you can rerun the import and Calibre will update itself with the new files, adding or updating the books when needed. Then you can clear up your repo again.
Note that if your books are dynamically generated periodicals (from news sites for exemple), Calibre already has its own mechanism to fetch them and keep them current. But I don't use it, so I don't know how feasible it is to implement it on a headless server. Those In The Know may be able to answer that.
