The sunspot-queue jobs update the Solr index but those changes don't appear in search results until Solr commits those changes. Solr supports automatically commiting changes based on either the number of changes and / or time between commits.

Add (or uncomment) the following in solrconfig.xml

<autoCommit>
  <maxDocs>10000</maxDocs>
  <maxTime>30000</maxTime>
</autoCommit>

See Solr's documentation for more information.
