You don't say what sort of account it is (imap, pop, ews, ...) but if
the message is being filtered correctly with Ctrl-Y then the filter
itself is working.

The issue is usually to do with what is a "New" message.  If you have
another client looking at the same mail, then the mail will not be
considered "New" if that client sees it first - note that "Unread" is
not the same as "New".  If the mail isn't New, then the filters won't be
applied.

There are some hints on sorting out filter issues in the Evolution help:

Help -> Contents -> Common Mail Questions -> Mail filters are not
working.
