Typically, you would update a bare repository used for publishing by
pushing into it, and trigger update-server-info from the post-update hook.

But it is perfectly fine if you initiate a mirror-fetch from that
publishing repository (in your case, "B"), and the caller to "git fetch"
can run update-server-info after fetching.

And no, there is not a "post-fetch" hook, nor is there a need for one.
