How? In which way is it not updated "properly"?

Prior to installing a new kernel, you could save a copy of grub.cfg,
install a new kernel package, and then run diff on the old and new
grub.cfg. What do you get?

Define "OK". 

grub2-mkconfig rewrites grub.cfg from scratch and under consideration
of template files, such as those in /etc/grub.d, and add-on tools such
as os-prober.

On the contrary, grubby (as run via the kernel packages) only inserts
a new boot entry into the existing file. It does not recreate the file
completely.

You haven't given enough details.
