Mercurial will not do that for you.

The purpose of Mercurial - with or without subrepos - is to track 
directory content and make sure that you can restore previous snapshots. 
That wouldn't be possible if it just checked out the latest revision - 
especially because Mercurial is distributed and 'latest' might mean 
something different to you than to everybody else.

The way to do what you ask for is to let the build system or some script 
do the clones/pulls/updates you want.
