The quote in front of ("arxiv"

>  '("arxiv"

"quotes" the following list, i.e. Emacs does not evaluate the Lisp
expressions inside the list but processes it as pure data. 

To calculate the file name each time you call `org-feed-update' either
leave out the quotes like:

(org-feed-update (list "arxiv" "http://export.arxiv.org/rss/astro-ph"; (concat … 
)))

-or-

Use backquotes:

http://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Backquote.html

(org-feed-update
 `("arxiv"
   "http://export.arxiv.org/rss/astro-ph";
   ,(concat "~/org/arxiv-" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d.org"))
   "arXiv.org"
  )
)

The ` means: The following structure is data except the parts with the
backquote ,.
