The "1,2-3" item is a SeparatorsIX paragraph. It's not enough to modify the specific instance in the reference page IX flow -- you need to Update All (in Paragraph Designer) to make your changes apply to all other instances. 

That said, SeparatorsIX has nothing to do with the page numbers -- that's the IndexIX paragraph format. But the same principle applies to it and to all the other paragraph formats in the reference page IX flow. When you change the formatting on the reference page, you must use Update All to apply that change to the paragraph format definition and thus to all instances, not just the one you changed. 

HTH!
