I'm not too experience with Juniper, but are you enabling/disabling the physical ports, or the units? (e.g. ge-0/1/0 or ge-0/1/0.1 ?)
Does NAV run netconf or snmp checkings before showing the portadmin page, or it does only rely on last database readings for portadmin state ?
PortAdmin will always perform a live update of the switch port status before displaying its controls. For Juniper switches, the NAPALM/NETCONF backend will be used for this. However, there is no live update of the user interface while it being idly displayed. If the switch config changes while you have the PortAdmin web page open, you will need to reload the page to get the updated version.
However, I recall having observed some instances of web browsers caching the state of the form controls on page reloads, thereby overriding the new state sent as part of the HTML document. You could potentially try to rule this out by changing the switch config, then opening PortAdmin for that switch in a different browser/container/incognito mode.
