I occasionally run in to this as well, using webdav to sync my org
files. Currently using org-revert-all-org-buffers to revert all Org
buffers, followed by org-agenda-redo (bound to r in the agenda view) to
rebuild the agenda.

The help text for org-revert-all-org-buffers describes a workflow for a
set of org files tracked in a VCS, including the
org-save-all-org-buffers function. I've been getting by just being
rigourous about saving files when I modify them, but adopting a similar
workflow sounds like it could be useful.
