Which oVirt version are you using?
From 4.2 you don't need to wait, you should be able to update the HE memory via UI:
1. Enable global maintenance
2. Change HE VM memory via UI
3. On the HE, run: # hosted-engine --vm-shutdown
4. Wait for HE VM to be down: # hosted-engine --vm-status
5. Start HE VM: # hosted-engine --vm-start
6. Disable global maintenance

Have you tried to add more RAM via UI and leave the VM for a day /even 2/ for the OVF to be updated ?
I know that there is an option to force faster OVF updates , but it's still slower than the defined frequency.
