Any hint as a solution for that?

There is an "auto-disconnect" option in the wireless device driver configuration that tries to disconnect the device after 30 minutes of no activity. Unfortunately I am not totally convinced that it works. You can get to the configuration screen by connecting, clicking the down arrow next to "Device" and choosing "Configure this device".
If all you are usually interested in doing is metadata updating then you could set up the devices to auto-connect at different times during the day. The auto-connect will do the metadata update, transfer news, trigger the reading list plugin for whatever it might want to do, then auto-disconnect. This setup means that people would connect only if they want books, in which case they should be sitting in front of the calibre PC and *should* remember to disconnect.
Beyond these, perhaps asking the others to disconnect when done?
