When you say "outside of Shotwell" do you mean you're launching an external
editor from within Shotwell, or you're launching the editor outside of
Shotwell?

The first way, the thumbnail should refresh as soon as you close the
editor.  The second way, it should eventually refresh, though it may take
some time for Shotwell to recognize a change has been made to the file.

You can force a thumbnail to refresh by performing an edit within Shotwell,
then undoing the edit.  This certainly is not a "recommended" way, but it's
a viable workaround if you've encountered a bug where thumbnails aren't
refreshing.
