Nov 20, 2014 at 21:22 comment added Daniel Litt It seems that it might be a bit easier to keep track of things if one uses the Leray spectral sequence for the maps $X\times Y\to X\to *$. Then one gets an exact sequence $$0\to \text{Pic}(X)\to \text{Pic}(X\times Y)\to H^0(X, \text{Pic}(Y))\to \text{Br}(X)$$ and we may write $H^0(X, \text{Pic}(Y))$ as $\text{Hom}(\text{Pic}^1(X), \text{Pic}(Y))$. I haven't thought very hard about when the last map in this sequence is zero, though...
