I don't think this is possible. Calibre really does have to disconnect (unmount) the filesystem before the Kobo can import the content.

It is possible to fake USB plug/unplug events on Kobos, but I don't think it's possible for Calibre to do this. It needs to be done from the device itself, either via SSH/telnet, or a program/script running on the Kobo.
