If that updated definition of the Block is a drawing file, of the same name  as the Block name in the current drawing, and it's in the support file search path list, you can do this:

 

-INSERT  BlockName=

 

Note the hyphen before the command name to get command-line rather than dialog-box operation, and the = sign with nothing after it, which means look for a drawing of the same name, and use its contents as the Block definition.  Answer Yes to the question whether to redefine it.  Once you have answered that, the revised definition will have been brought in, replacing/updating the definition for all existing insertions of that Block name, and you can cancel without completing the command if you don't want to Insert another one.
