Yes, you can use latex paint over poly but you have a few steps to do before you can apply it. First, whether the poly is oil or water based, you'll want to sand it to give it a tooth (something to grab onto). Make sure to wear a mask and goggles. Next, prime the surface you want to paint. You can fill any hole or fix imperfections over the primer but you'll have to prime those areas again if you do. After you're priming is done, you can roll out your paint. Quick note: if the poly is oil-based, I would use an oil based primer (Zinsser"s bin 1-2-3 oderless oil primer, white can with yellow flag on it). You can roll latex over this primer.

Can you use water base primer over oil base paint before top coating with latex paint?

You can always paint latex ( water based )over an oil based paint as the latex just dries on the surface. However don't paint an oil based over a latex paint. Oil based paints need to absorb into the wood or other surfaces or it will just dry and flake off.
