We don’t have the same work flow but maybe this will help. Our editors work on the same server as the designers so we aren’t sending files back and forth.
We build the pages with inDesign then export inCopy files and save those in a separate folder which are linked to the inDesign document.
We don’t go directly to the incopy files to make edits, the editor opens the inDesign file using inCopy and can see the page layout and make edits. I don’t think your guy is sending you the indesign file correct? Maybe the files need to live in a cloud where everyone has access to the same documents.
I hope this helps,

I’m not sure if this will work but let’s give it a try. I know how to do it with one text box, you have three so my thought is to do the same steps three different times and changing the margin set up.
1. on the master page set up the margins to match your first text box. Then auto flow your text starting with the first page. If you don’t know how to auto flow, It’s when you hold the shift key when you drop the text on the page. If you see a red + showing overset text then you didn’t auto flow. No worries, simply click the red + which will load the text to your pointer tool. Click the pointer tool in the next text box while holding the shift key. Here is an article on auto flow text

2. For the next text box, repeat setting up margins on master page to match position of your second text box.
3. Repeat for third text box.
Good luck!

Lots of folks have this issue. It started for us when we upgraded to CS6. No solutions and Adobe is useless when trying to find an answer.
Our work around:
1. open the document without updating links
2. unlink all the text boxes that need updating
3. place all the incopy files that needed updating as new text blocks.
I don’t have to create a new document and all your styles are still there. We tried creating new docs but that didn’t help.
The downside is this will have to be done every time you need to update.
I feel your pain.
