Calibre does not update the embedded metadata in the ebook format files - it updates its database. To embed the current metadata in the ebook format files you need to use one of the following tools:

Send to Device, that will embed the current metadata in the format file that is Sent but leave the library copy as is
Save to Disk, make sure you check the Preferences->Save to disk->Update metadata in saved copies setting. StD will also leave the library copy as is.
Embed Metadata (you may need to add it to a menu/toolbar), that will embed the metadata in the library copy of the format files.
Polish Books (you may need to add it to a menu/toolbar), has several run time options one of which is to update the metadata in the library copy of the format files. It can be used on EPUB and AZW formats
Modify optional plugin, it has many run time options options, one of which is to update the metadata in the library copy of the format files.
