As you probably realize, this is because those buffers aren't
server-editing buffers.

You might consider global-auto-revert-mode.  If a buffer does not have
unsaved changes, and emacs notices that it has changed on disk, it
automatically refreshes it to the new version.  If it does have unsaved
changes, then it uses the normal behaviour.  As long as you remember to
save your org-mode buffers when you're done with the agenda, and rely on
your VCS to avoid losing data to overwriting, then it should be pretty
transparent.
