Metadata keeps reappearing

Maybe the question is already answered somewhere, but I don't know the proper search terms to find the solution. So any pointer is very much appreciated.

I have a small problem: I have 6 Books of a series. The first 4 appear on my kindle in the format:

<number> - <title>

The other 2 appear without a number. They are displayed as

<Author> - <seriesname> - <title>

I investigated a bit and it seems, the metadata on the first 4 in the mobi file is properly set as defined in calibre. The metadata on the last 2 is completely different. In fact there the title is set as it appears on my kindle.

It seems, when I change the metadata in calibre, this is not reflected in the book's file, so the Kindle will continue displaying different metadata.

Is there any way I can make calibre but my corrected metadata into the files?
