In numerous campaigns, I use homebrew items made on the DM's account but whenever I modify the homebrew item, the new changes are not brought over to the character's sheets. I need to clear cookies, log back in and then only sometimes are the edits visible. Is there a reason why the homebrew item updates aren't immediately being broadcast to the character sheets in the campaign?
Yes, there is a delay of up to 20ish minutes while the edits are filtered through several server caches.
After you make any edits you MUST re-save the entire homebrew using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information or the system won’t pick up your changes at all.
After that, and after the (up to 20 minute) update period you have to refresh the character sheet at the very least. If that doesn’t do it you might need to “wake up” the character sheet’s cache by raising the character’s level and lowering it back to normal again. (Then perhaps refresh the page again.)

I am on Firefox 91, if that makes a difference.

Oh, ok. I'll try waiting the 20 minutes and see what happens. Thanks.
