Hi there. There is a trick when pinning a dashboard. You must be sure you understand of the filters involved on the visualization you are pinning to make sure that the new data will flow. For example, if you filter by August a card and then pin it thinking about showing last month, you will get blank in september. Dates can be a pain. 
Please check your filter context. A good way to avoid this is pinning with relative date filter like "this month". You will know you always have the last data.

I hope that make sense.
