Laravel: How to use dynamic database using DB facade?

Using Laravel 5, how can I access a database dynamically set in the config?

Sample output below is not using the database some_db as expected.

var_dump(config('database.connections.tenant.database')); // -> 'another_db'
config()->set('database.connections.tenant.database', 'some_db');
var_dump(config('database.connections.tenant.database')); // -> 'some_db'
var_dump(DB::connection('tenant')->select('select database()')); // -> 'another_db'
