I wanted to post our solution to this problem in hopes that it can help someone else.

For reasons unknown to us using the SmartDashboard table exhibited the 'stale' or 'static' value affect referenced above.

The Solution:

We are sending one number (double) called HOTTARGET.
0 is Not Hot
1 is Hot

In RoboReam we changed the NetworkTable from SmartDashboard to RoboRealm.

Here is the C++ side of things.

class Camera2481 : public Subsystem {
private:

NetworkTable* mTable;

Camera2481() {
mTable = NetworkTables::GetTable("RoboRealm");
}

bool IsHotTarget() {
int ht = mTable->GetNumber("HOTTARGET", 2);
SmartDashboard::PutNumber("HOTTARGET", ht);
return ht == 1;
}
};
