This is the correct behaviour. The status icon overlays show if you have
*local* modifications. It does not contact the server to see if the working
copy is up-to-date.

If you need to see if there are modifications, use "Check for Modifications"
which you already found.
Normally you want just update in regular intervals and let Subversion merge
the modifications into your working copy.
