Ok I found the solution I'm just posting hoping that if someone else has the same problem they find this. I have an excel file that I use on my mobile (which opens it in sheets) that was refusing to update to the new version. I had verified that the updated version synced to g.drive from my computer and the date modified on the mobile g.drive showed the latest version but when opened in sheets it was an older version.

The solution to this is to clear the data for sheets on the phone. for IOS - Settings > Apps > Sheets > Storage > Clear Data. Open your file again and you will then have the correct updated version.

So far I have found that I have to do this every time I update the file which is almost daily but ... shrug ... it's not that hard to jump in there and clear the data. I also have no issues updating/syncing the other direction.

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
