I had a similar situation with delta-syncrepl, and I’d wish there were a tool like “touch” to force sending out the current object to the other servers. This problem is specific to delta-syncrepl, I guess (as the other methods will most likely “pull” any missing objects)
To force an object to sync I used to modify or temporarily add an attribute not relevant to the object. Typically, in my case, I added "description", let the object sync, then deleted that attribute.

The problem is (if you do it that way) that delta-syncrepl will only update the description attribute then, not the whole entry. With the classic mwethods, the whole entry would be refreshed. At least this is how I understand it.
