For text alignment, the Adobe app, used for standard epub, uses

body {text-align: %1 !important;}
as it's override CSS, where %1 is the value you choose in the Kobo's [Aa] font menu (if it's not set to 'Off').
On the other hand, for the kepub reading app, the default override CSS used is
Code:
div, p { text-align: %1 !important;}
This is why setting the alignment to anything other than 'Off' changes your kepub centred styles for <div>s and <p>s to left/justify depending on which alignment you selected.
You have 2 choices to change this inconvenient behaviour: - set the Justification button to 'Off' and leave it there. You will then be reliant on each of your epubs/kepubs containing your text-align value(s) of choice.
- use a kobo patch to change the override CSS for kepubs to match that for standard epubs. I don't remember whether you're a user of the kobopatch system but if you are the one you need to enable is called 'Un-Force user text-align in div,p tags in KePubs'

I forgot to respond about another idea I had about this. I was thinking that what's wanted is to only override the justified/left align for top level paragraphs; e.g.,
Code:
body > p, section > p { text-align: %1 !important; }
Although I'm not sure if that would match all top level paragraphs; what a top level paragraph is might be different for various scenarios. The other alternative, which I suspect CSS may not have is to only change text-align when it's set to justify or left. But even that would need tweaking if it's displaying a right-to-left language.
