The problem is that you are changing the value of the dropdown after you have created the event object, which has a copy of the original value of the dropdown. The following is what you need:

$('#dropdownId').change(function () {
    events.data.customParam = $(this).val();
    $('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchEvents');
});

This relies on the event object being created in an area where it can be accessed from the dropdown onchange and the fullcalendar initialisation (e.g. document onload)
