Ok, Riga is admin_level6, Centrs is admin_level10.
admin_level6 is not used for cities, thus admin_level10 at the
last line wins.

Maybe this will work. Add the following line
before the "# common rules for all the rest of countries"
line or whatever else rules you are using for your area to your style:

mkgmap:country=LVA & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level6=Rīga {set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' }

I hope "LVA" is correct, haven't tested it.
For Germany I have meanwhile quite some of this "hacks".
