The amount of power a redstone torch gives to a length of rails extends to 9 blocks in one direction. A redstone block does not extend this, as it would with redstone dust.

No, they update all right, they just don't get any more power from the redstone block than the torch. Is that intentional?
If you're placing a redstone block next to a powered rail that is already powered by a redstone torch and the range of activated powered rails isn't increasing, that is MC-957. If that doesn't describe your issue, then please record a video of this happening and attach it to this report.
If you are on Windows, you can use Windows+Alt+R to open a built-in app for recording game footage.
If you are on Mac (Mojave or later), you can use Shift+Command+5 to open a built-in app for recording your screen.
In case you don't have a program to record videos, we recommend using the free recording software OBS.
In case the resulting video file is too large to be uploaded to the bug tracker directly, please upload it elsewhere (e.g. as unlisted video on YouTube) and link to it here.
Would MC-957 describe your issue?
