That setting only applies to newly synced files. If the files are already in your Dropbox folder as Online-only, changing that setting doesn't make the existing files Available Offline. You need to right-click them and set it yourself.
You don't have to do it individually. You can select a group of files are just set the Camera Uploads folder itself to Available Offline (even if it already is) and it will update the status of all files within the folder.

I reckon it's counter-intuitive for that setting only apply to "new" files, plus (as I found) it's in conflict with "selective sync" which I've always relied on to control what ends up being downloaded to a particular device
