Since installing a new simple aio cooler, I've been able to clock my 4690k to 4.6 while maintaining cpu temps under 50c. Due to my ambient case temp dropping, my evga 1070 sc temp seems to have dropped an average of 20° as well.

Would the lower gpu temps or the higher cpu clock be any reason to readjust my gpu overclock? As is, I'm sitting at +140 core clock on gpu, but the 20° drop in temp and the cpu overclock just made me wonder.

It will bottleneck in some games in 0.1% lows, and to a lesser extent in 1% lows. However, that is not something you would be able to fix for every game by overclocking , for example, even an overclocked i5 7600k has momentary drops to about 30fps in metro last light. Your bottleneck would be more on thread count rather than clock speed. The situation is somewhat similar to an i3 7350k at 5ghz, it gets you good average fps but there will be some momentary stutters in some points.
This is due to the fact that recent game engines have started to expect 6-8 available threads, especially the AAA ones like 4A engine. So for the long term you are better off looking for an upgrade.
In average frame rates you would be fine for now, you can...
