Eric - The member level field on the home screen is a calculated field (it looks at the amount of the dues payment and then "calculates" which level they are at. Calculating this field for every record all the time would take a lot of processor power, and would be painfully slow, so it only calculates when you tell it to.
Go to the Admin screen 1 of 2. There are two buttons there - Replace Current Find Fields, and Replace All Find Fields. These buttons will cause all of those calculated fields to, well, calculate. The first replaces the find fields in the found set you're working with, the second with the entire database (though you can tell it to recalculate only since a certain date).
