Calibre also updates the metadata when you send the book to the device or do a save to disk. This includes updating the cover. But, updating the cover doesn't always work. Calibre has to work out which image in the book is the cover and replace it with what it has in the metadata. Generally, calibre can do this, I've had a few books with strange names for the cover and not marked as the cover in the OPF and calibre couldn't update them. A conversion or one of the other cover adding options normalises the cover details in the book so that calibre can make the change later with no problems.
