atomicity doesn't mean, or imply, instantaneous.
However, a document update in CouchDB is fully ACID (including the A of Atomicity). People often confuse transactions around multiple changes with ACID for reasons that I cannot fathom. CouchDB does not have support the former (they don't scale well in clusters) but absolutely supports the latter.
