Everytime your page is loaded - prior to running the function that replaces the content - check whether or not time() is greater than 24 hours of the timestamp in the DB. If it isn't, you don't do anything - if it is you update the timestamp to the current time and replace the content.
Unnecessary db call is unnecessary.
