Perhaps just posting Overpass links and locals manually making the changes would be better?
I think Ed has hit the nail on the head here. All your mechanical edit does is correct one tiny part of the mapping, and possibly to no great effect - it's just the text of the name that's getting corrected under a limited set of circumstances.
However, if local mappers could somehow be alerted to this small discrepancy, they would probably spot other things in the same area that needed updating at the same time. They might not go looking for them otherwise.
Finding small problems like this does have an advantage, but it looks like fixing them mechanically is actually missing the opportunity to improve the map in other ways at the same time.
