Documentation says:

Marking a version as released will affect some changes in some reports (e.g. Change Log report) and some issue fields' drop-downs

...which version status values trigger an update to linked issues?

...which issue drop-down fields are updated as a result?

...how are values for issue drop-down field updates determined?

None...

>...which version status values trigger an update to linked issues?

None.  The version holds the version status, issues are not updated.

>...which issue drop-down fields are updated as a result?

Technically, none, as above, as it's only the version that is changed.  But the answer you're really looking for here is "affects version, fix version, and any custom fields that you have added of type "version field""

>...how are values for issue drop-down field updates determined?

There are no updates.  When a field is read later, the version it points to is read for more updates.

When you put a version into a field on an issue, the data you add to the issue is a pointer, not a value.  It points to the version object.  When things are looking at an issue etc, the code reads the pointer and uses it to get data from the version it points to.  Version name, status and dates are all things stored on the version, not the issue.
