Everywhere I've been looking for the stock ROM for my phone (Moto G4 XT1622 RETEU channel), but I just find links to some sketchy file hosting sites with old versions. Is there any official way to get the latest stock ROM?
I was on LineageOS for the longest time but decided to go back to Stock because a game got updated and doesn't work on any custom ROM anymore.

The ROMs provided by Motorola are old - 6.0.1 (Build MPJ24.139-64) to be precise. As far as I know the update to Nougat has long been released. But I installed the old version anyways, thinking that I'll get the new one via OTA. But every time I check for an update it tells me I'm on the latest version.

Is it because I have an unlocked bootloader? I already tried to relock, but if I understand correctly, I need a newer version of the stock ROM to lock it. ("preflash validation failed / security version downgrade"). But I don't have or can find a newer version xD Am I screwed?

Look on MOTO G4 Plus forum on XDA. Both are Athene and should work for both devices. Revivor2, CreamPie Nougat, and stock by DroidPhil are roms that can be flashed via TWRP. You can download official stock roms and flash via FASTBOOT also. March Security Update is the safest official 7.0 stock rom to flash. June Security Update is an OTA addition to March's one and can cause brick on some devices if you want to roll back to an older rom like March Security Update.
