In general the answer is "No" unless the following conditions are met:

the publishing service has some mechanism to force updates to the devices that have downloaded the ebook directly, or through some proprietary program. This precludes anyone managing their ebooks e.g. in Calibre.
the device has to be connected to the service in order to get the updated version

I would not want such a service, as I don't like updates to happen without my explicit knowledge. Not every change is an improvement.

The mechanism you propose is a similar to the one used in the software industry: publish half-finished and partly tested code and update as necessary. And there you see that people stay—for whatever reason—with older versions for years.
