Despite providing all of that info to delta, my boarding pass still prints LASTNAME/FIRST.

I don't know if it will become a new field on boarding passes at some point in the future, as it does state it must match the ID you will be traveling on.
I don't know how many time I have said this in other threads relating to this topic, but this is how it happens:

- The data your provide for SecureFlight is used BEHIND THE SCENES where the airline's computer system transmits to the the TSA before you even check-in. The TSA matches this information against their no-fly lists and sends either an "OK to fly", or "Not OK to Fly" message back to the airline.

- If the airline receives an "OK to fly" message from the TSA, then you will be able to receive your boarding pass (even if the name on the boarding pass does not show your middle name etc.).

- If the airline receives a "Not OK to Fly" message from the TSA, then you won't be receiving your boarding pass to begin with!! (As the airline would not be able to issue you a boarding pass). If this happens to you, then you will have to apply for a "redress number" that you can use in the future when you fly.
