Eliot is right, but you can interpret the sentence the way you did, too. Good job! :)

to be on your toes = to be alert
Someone is playing with the expression when he says, "Keep your brain on your toes." Actually, the sentence is a bit weird.
"That should keep him on his toes." = That should make sure that he will stay alert.
