As others have said, the read-only mount doesn't know how to poll the block device to see updates from the read-write mount, so you won't see updates to the data, and in general this is not a safe thing to do. One alternative would be taking a clone of a snapshot of the image, and mounting that read-only -- obviously that data will only be as up-to-date as whenever you did your last snapshot. If the read-only mounts are serving rarely updated files, the administrative overhead of doing the snapshot/remount on data updates might be acceptable.
