you should be fine updating it OTA as long as your not rooted when you do it and have stock recovery

I think both GPE and regular Moto G's use the bootloaders so that shouldn't cause a problem either. Glad i could help

Nope you cant. As the bootloader has been updated and when you will try to install 4.4.4 it would say incorrect OS and crash the custom recovery. So don't do it.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that you flash the custom firmware.
Thank s diegodm for sharing your idea. Now I check my phone and a new problem came up. I used rootchecker to confirm whether my device is rooted properly or not. And it said ROOT ACCESS IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED ON YOUR DEVICE. Should I root it again and unroot after that. I really dont have any idea. Again my device (moto g xt1033) running on lollipop 5.0.2 is not properly rooted. And I want to update it to stock 5.1 . what should I do?

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
No,it won't.You won't be able to update via OTA since you're rooted.You can flash the stock 6.0 ROM from fastboot without issues.
