Yes. Calibre is somewhat special. Perhaps a reflection of the developer.
And even with him the packages do not always work without errors. It is not uncommon for him to release an update a day or even a few hours after the release of a version.
I've used it for more than 10 years. As suggested by Kovid Goyal, the developer, updating from the Calibre website with the command on the Linux download page. Update glitches are rare to nonexistent. The recommended update process is reliable. If appropriate, an update notification is displayed when Calibre starts. It's easy to update from the Calibre site.
Oh, and about the package in SUSE. I used the package now for about 6 years. And I can't remember any real problem concerning the packaging during this time. In the current case a few things came together.
