Okay....

I'm not a Kubernetes nor Docker person myself.  But those that I talk to 
tell me that when you need to update the version of something inside a 
container, it's time to deploy a new container with the new version and 
get rid of the old container.

Definition files are definitely different than the scanning engine. 
Maybe you could deploy a new container daily with the day's definitions.

Or, as Joel indicated, run a local mirror (private or otherwise) and 
have your containers pull their updates from said mirror.
