I suspect it's some oddity with Gmail. The IMAP folder subscription list is kept on the server not locally (although there is probably a cache of the list locally). Gmail is not really designed for use with IMAP, hence Google's implementation seems to be a series of workarounds to try and make it look like it works. Specifically, in Gmail the concept of a "folder" doesn't exist, but they use "labels" as an analogue of folders. This largely works. However, sometimes the interaction between "folders" and "labels" can be a bit odd. Sometimes the Gmail version of folders doesn't work like folders in other IMAP implementations. So, you need to go into Gmail settings on the web (not the Evolution one) and select "Labels" (Cog -> All Settings -> Labels). In there you will see a setting against each label name of "Show in IMAP". Enable/Disable as desired.
