Can you post the exact commands you used and what you did next.
I'm not quite sure what you mean with "application of the new layout to
the virtual consoles is delayed".
Did you logout/login again in the mean time and still got the same layout?

TTBOMK, localectl just writes to /etc/default/keyboard and /etc/default
/console-setup and leaves it up to console-setup to apply those changes,
which is usually done during bootup.
There is also a /lib/udev/rules.d/90-console-setup.rules, i.e is
triggered via udev. So it might be possible, that console-setup applies
the changes when the hardware configuration changes.
