What is happening?

Whether or not the previous issue is deleted depends upon the 'timefmt' variable in the recipe.
The standard recipe does not append a datestamp to the filename, so newly downloaded issues overwrite the older ones, as the filename is the same.
If you want to manually control the deletion of your older issues on the device, you need to customize the built-in recipe:
Code:
timefmt = '[%d %b %Y]'
Note that calibre will not delete older issues on the device automatically - that setting only applies to copies in database on your computer.
The default setting works correctly with Kindle periodical management, automatically archiving the last 7 issues, then deleting the oldest one when a new issue is downloaded.
