Those methods can pick up values when they are created but you discovered their limitation: they don't update well.
You were close though! Instead of the evaluate function, do 'Insert>Model Datum>Analysis'. It, too, offers the Measure function to get the refverences that you are using for distance. But then, its decided advantage is that, in the process, it has you create a parameter, a real one, to hold and represent that measured value. It also sets its own update condition which makes it possble to make the parameter value ever current and the parameter which it lets you create can be used quite simply in a note with the usual ampersand sign. When your model updates, the parameter updates and the note updates with it.
