Most likely, the problem is that you have
proxy_pass https://somehostname.com;
somewhere in the configuration, without variables - so nginx
resolves the name during configuration parsing. As a result, your
construct
set $proxy_server somehostname.com;
proxy_pass https://$proxy_server;
does not try to resolve the name, but rather ends up using the
existing upstream for somehostname.com.
If you want the name to be always resolved, comment out the
proxy_pass without variables and/or use the variables there as
well.
