That has happened to a few others also - it doesn't mean anything bad. Is the new date earlier or later than the old date?

Paying Fees
Before being interviewed, each applicant must pay the Diversity Visa Lottery fee. For DV-2015 and DV-2014 applicants, the fee is $330 per person. This fee is nonrefundable, whether a visa is issued or not. Learn more about Fees.

Just noticed the above part from the second letter. Do we have to pay the fees (330$ DV Surcharge + 165$ USCIS visa issuance fee) on the interview day in Riyadh embassy or prior to that online?

You pay the $330 fee at the embassy. You only pay the $165 fee if you get a visa, and that is done online after you get your visa packet but before you enter the US. The $165 is not a visa issuance fee, it covers the cost of green card production and USCIS maintaining your immigrant file.
