If the routes `model` hook is called then definitely setupController hook will be called.  
Usually model hook will be called when the route enters via URL or using `tansitionTo` from route or using `transitionToRoute` from controller or `link-to` without providing the model object as argument.

do you mean the model data is changing/reloading, then I dont expect `setupController` hook to be called.
