Will the RDX get a refresh similar to the CRV?

The RDX is just an "also run" in a different and very competitive league .  It has to compete with BMW's X3 & X5, Audi's Q3, Q5, not to mention MB.  Even if it could offer more, brand image come into play.

The CRV has a much easier life because the only serious competitor is Toyota's RAV 4.  

Shooting one, stationary target is a lot easier than shooting MANY moving targets!
