This should be happening in 'update', particularly this bit of code handles it:

           upstream_revision = fetcher.method.latest_revision(fetcher,
d, 'default')
            if upstream_revision != local_revision:
                changed = True
                logger.info('Layer repository {} checked out into {}
updated revision {} from {} to {}'.format(remote,
os.path.join(layerdir, repodir), rev, local_revision,
upstream_revision))

Can you check why it isn't triggering?
