Yes, sounds reasonable to me - in my experience any changes to DNS records take a little while to settle down. DNS entries have a lifetime - this lifetime is server configurable and can be anything from a few minutes to days depending on how often the administrator of the DNS thinks the entries are likely to change. The lifetime allows the clients to cache the DNS results and most clients won't bother to query the DNS again until the entry would have expired. And it's not an Evolution issue: I very much doubt Evolution is doing the actual DNS lookups - after all, that's what libraries are for. Don't get confused by using utilities such as nslookup - they perform the DNS queries themselves so by-pass the cache.
