Exterior primers and caulk

I used a GE paintable caulk. I had planned to prime with Sherwin Williams' best oil primer. BUT after caulking, I learned (NOT on caulk tube) that the caulk requires latex primer. So now, I've primed on and near the caulked areas with Kilz best latex primer.

The finish coat will be Sherwin Williams Duration latex.

Question: Is it now better to prime everything (bare wood, sanded painted wood, plus latex-primed caulk areas) with oil base primer, or simply finish all the priming with the Kilz latex primer? (I already have both primers).
