When in Kindle Previewer you enabled the Kindle Fire and Kindle Paperwhite preview, you are watching the ".kf8 part" of the .mobi file AND YOU SHOULD SEE the sans-serif font; on the other hand, when you enable the Kindle DX preview, you are watching the ".mobi part" of the .mobi file AND HERE YOU CAN'T HAVE the sans-serif font. Probably you are previewing your eBook with the Kindle DX preview; try enabling Kindle Fire or Paperwhite and tell us if you can see the sans-serif font.

I am aware of the fact that ".mobi" files generated from kndlegen actually contain other files (as a side note, I thought it included one more file, the original, no?) for backwards compatibility reasons.
I am not aware however which of the devices available in the Previewer are supposed to be new (as in "use .kf8") and which are old
To answer you, I tried all of them and since sans-serif works in none of them I just assumed it works to neither new or old.
Just to be sure we are on the same page (no pun intended) here is the list of the available devices I see:
-Kindle e-ink
|-Kindle Paperwhite
|-Kindle DX
-Kindle Fire
|-Kindle Fire HD
|-Kindle Fire HDX
|-Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"
-Kindle for iOS
|-iPhone
|-iPad
As a side note, monospace is not working on Kindle Paperwhite.
