For sure this would work, if you take some care like actually selecting
the *window* displaying the agenda before refreshing it.
Something like (untested):

(defun org-upgrade ()
   "Reload org.el and renew the mode in all applicable buffers."
   (interactive)
   (load-library "org")
   (let ((buffers (buffer-list))
         (cwin (selected-window))
         (org-inhibit-startup t) ; avoid re-folding of the buffers
         buf win)
     (while (setq buf (pop buffers))
       (when (buffer-live-p buf)
         (with-current-buffer buf
           (and (eq major-mode 'org-mode) (org-mode)))))
     (when (setq win (get-buffer-window org-agenda-buffer-name))
       (select-window win)
       (org-agenda-redo))
     (select-window cwin)
     (message "All buffers upgraded to org-mode version %s"
              org-version)))
