Probably because Evolution is interpreting "Cancel" as "stop all communication with the server". A better question might be: Why isn't Evolution updating its local "last message seen on that server" setting when a user cancels? There may be a good answer for that, too (i.e. it's safer to download duplicates than to risk not downloading the messages at all, later).
