Is there somewhere in preview the option to "refresh the view", so that the changes in the pdf file appear?
Preview has a Revert command under its File menu which will read the current version of the document off the disk. It's what I use when editing/updating PDF documents from LaTeX. It doesn't have a keystroke equivalent, but you could add one in the Keyboard Preference Pane.
Preview doesn't seem to be AppleScriptable (it doesn't show up in the list when I do an Open Dictionary in Script Editor), so you'd probably have to do some GUI scripting if you wanted to automate the Revert command.
