When I look at my firmware downloads, the file is served by an Akamai edge server. This reduces the load on Kobo's servers and you get the data from a source that is geographically closer to you. The problem is that like any caching proxy, it is possible for the data served by Akamai to be out of date. I suspect that Kobo would have sent Akamai a purge request for the bad firmware update file as soon as they knew about the problem but that would still take some time to be processed.
