No you can't. Official firmware installer files are model-locked to a single Kindle model. So you can't use files meant for PW5 on other Kindles.
The first part of the link ("https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredownloads/update_kindle_") if the same but you need to find out what internal nickname Amazon guys use for PW4. Like "all_new_paperwhite_11th" is used for PW5 and "all_new_paperwhite" is used for PW3. I think for PW4 they use something stupid like "all_new_paperwhite_V2".
Anyways, just google for "Kindle software updates" and the first result should be Amazon's page for Kindle eInk devices updates. Go there, click on the link to download the latest firmware for PW4 (aka Paperwhite 10th gen) and then you will see in browser downloads tab (Ctrl + J?) exactly how the link for 5.14.3 looks like. Copy that and just change from "5.14.3" to the version you want to update to.
Currently I'm not near a computer so can't check that info for you and just post you the links...
