How to refresh a 'content' route page that is not the current page

I have a route that is defined using the route ‘content’ property. I initially rendered a template using Template7 and assigned the result as the content for the route and that works fine.

When I later replace the content for the view, how do I tell F7 that the content was updated? Ive updated the route content property but it appears to show the previous content anyway when its called up again.

UPDATE:
It appears that it has to do with updating the root page when I am on a sub page. When I go ‘back’ it still shows the loaded page that is still in DOM. I have updated the route content but it won’t display the updated content. I tried adding ignoreCache true on the back navigation but it doesn’t seem to work.
