After updating the Netkey to the local node(config client) and then to the remote node, I monitored the beaconing key used by local config client.
Please note that since, only two netkeys are at presently configured in both the nodes, therefore, the key ID's are 1 (for primary netkey at index 0), 2(For Netkey at index 1) & 3(For new NetKey at index 1).

After NetKey update, The KR phase in both sides are set to 1, but it seems, the new key id (which is 3 in this case) is still *NOT used for beaconing, by the 'Config Client node'
Config Client still keeps on beaconing with key ID 1 & 2. Sharing a bit of logs for your reference.

During NetKey Update-
mesh/cfgmod-server.c:cfg_srv_pkt() CONFIG-SRV-opcode 0x8045 size 18 idx 000
key refresh phase 1: Key ID 3

Beacon Keys after NetKey update on remote Node -
mesh/net-keys.c:snb_timeout() beacon 2 for 1 nodes, period 30, obs 2, exp 3
mesh/net-keys.c:snb_timeout() beacon 1 for 1 nodes, period 20, obs 2, exp 2

Please share your opinion to check the issue further. Thank You
