If your reference data is *not* immutable load-one-time-only then
your change/transform/whatever process should live and run on the
production server.

Mine is!  Maybe I should call it something else but in my 25 years in IT i've worked on several projects that use data in a database to transform data and transformation change (i.e. data warehouse load scripts). 
 

A "staging" server is for realistic testing of your *procedures* that will
run on production, not doing data transformation to export.

Again, maybe we need to call the server something else.  Also it is testing (or the transformations). 

Anyway worked it out.  I simply reaload the reference tables.  The trick is to keep all the keys the same and use deferred foreign keys.

Rules are there to be broken;).
