I sync my files with git which modifies the on-disk versions separate
from my open emacs session.  I use M-x org-revert-all-org-buffers to
replace the Emacs versions with the more-correct versions on disk (newly
updated with git) -- but I don't have automatic updates.  I know exactly
when the files on disk are newer than my Emacs buffers so I can safely
use this function.

Make sure you don't have any unsaved information in _any_ org files in
emacs before you run this to sync your emacs buffers with the on disk
files -- otherwise you'll lose information.

HTH,
