Books purchased from Kobo and synced normally get the series information from Kobo if the series information is present on Kobo. In the few cases where it is not included, I can generate a dummy book in calibre matching title and author, update it's metadata and then update the metadata on my ereader. This does require that you have Update purchased books checked in the KoboTouch/KoboTouchExtended driver on the Metadata, on device & advanced tab.

You can take a look at the content.opf file for ePub 3 ebooks and see if the following lines are there:

Code:
<meta property="belongs-to-collection" id="id-6">Angels and Demons</meta>
<meta refines="#id-6" property="collection-type">series</meta>
<meta refines="#id-6" property="group-position">3</meta>
