So metadata you want (for some picture) is on /home/john/Pictures, and you want to discard metadata stored in /media/disk/Photographs (for the same pictures), right?

I'd setup Digikam to save metadata to pictures, sync metadata in the database with metadata in the pictures, and just copy/move pictures I need to /media/disk/Photographs, and sync the database again.

This should work. Try with a test image to become confident yourself with the process.
