I assume you mean the file copy command completed fast.
("copying a file to somewhere under /coda" and "sending file contents to a
server" express very different matters, hope you agree on that)

If your client was in write-disconnected mode, it may take several minutes
until it (the Venus process) sends the updates to the server. Try

cfs strong

if you insist on "instant update" (not guaranteed anyway but
gives sufficient certainty for most purposes, unless the network is flaky)

That happens if you are in write-disconnected mode - then close() on the
downloaded file returns before the data is sent to a Coda server.
Several minutes later Venus pushes accumulated updates to a Coda server.
The ultimate update on *all* of the Coda servers (if the volume happens to
be multiple replicated) can delay until some client accesses the new file.

Cheers,
