What if I use test accounts for that? I could do a round-robin-logon operating mode where one accounts login on multiple servers in a row just to update stuff. There are 489 realms (US & EU). So let us say you'll have to do ~1k updates per 'cycle'. Let us further say you use one account to update ... 40 'targets'. Then you will need ~25 accounts.
Beside the possibliity to use test accounts for this, the real question is, how much computing power do I need to handle 25 wow instances simultaneously? (lowest possible graphics/sound/details settings of course)

Let's say you will need 15 seconds to do one 'update'. Then every single 'target' should be updated at least once every 10 minutes - which should be absolutely adequate for a lot of contents. (like feeds or something)
