Without `org-babel-execute-buffer', I don't think so.

I'm not convinced that this behaviour should be enforced. If I C-c C-c
on a block, I expect only the results of the block to be updated, not
some other part of the document I am editing. 

Also, what if the other block is in another document? I don't think it
should be updated either.

What is the harm in using `org-babel-execute-buffer' for your use case?
