Yeah that's because the clock app you will need to restart the app to update the location. Currently the location is updated only on 2 conditions,
1. On application startup
2. If the clock app is brought to the foreground 30 mins later
It does not continuously keep searching for the user location since that would be bad for the battery. So in your situation where you disabled the position service and then renabled it, the clock app does not get a signal that you turned it on. So you will need to restart the clock app.
A better way of fixing your situation would be to add a refresh button which the user can press to search for the location, but we are way past UI freezes to get this done.
