i'm not sure if this is your problem, but there's an obvious bug in your code 
that should be fixed first. from the apidox for sourceRequestEvent:

         * The name of the data source (e.g. the source parameter passed into
         * setData) must be the same as the name passed to sourceRequestEvent
         * otherwise the requesting visualization may not receive notice of a
         * data update.

so it should either be setData(source, ...) on each of those lines, or:

if (source == "foo") {
    // your setData calls
}

if the problem still persists, please send me your engine code to look at. 
it's much easier to actually just build and test locally.
