Actually, this was not possible for me with a Delta booking as a FlyingBlue silver then gold member...
I booked flights with DL when I was Silver, then I went Gold three months before this DL flight. When I checked-in with DL my boarding pass showed Silver...
No one (I mean nor FlyingBlue nor Delta) was able to make me Gold on my BP when CI. Delta said that was FlyingBlue mistake and FB said it was Delta... (they even re-entered my FB number with no effect).
I was not allowed to use SkyPriority lane, SP boarding, and I had to insist with my Gold card to enter the lounge (for my international flight)...
So I would say it depends on which company you fly with because not all the computer systems are linked to each other.
