I was looking at BA875 21 July. Flight was due to depart DME, was moved to SVO

I'm new to KVS, so not sure if there is something I need to do in settings (I have Diamond subscription)
The data is real-time. The system does handle diversions to alternate airports (after departure), but it gets confused by certain 'unconventional' scenarios, like the change of the departure airport without the change in flight number in your example.

However, BA had removed the Thursday flight from the schedule, so if you had checked yesterday, you could have probably seen the SVO-LHR flight (but it's too late now):
