Lightly sand and clean it then re-poly it. Since you already
have oil based poly down I wouldnt just put water on top of
it. I would be afraid if it doesnt bond right, it'll peel in a year
or
two.
If you can get the same finish (poly) for the floor you might have
a shot. This also depends on how much sunlight you might have
in the area because poly yellows from light.
I blend the area in you might just be better off sanding and
refinishing
the entire area. As for using water based poly, I am not sure how
well
it holds up to foot traffic. I perfer oil based because of how
durable it is.
