If it is the same region as your eshop you can update via eshop.

Have you already solved your problem? If not, as far as I know u can update the console even if is jailbroken, make a search before doing it, but I think it don't have any problem doing that, another thing is that depending on the type of the file, u can update a game by .cia, example, u can install a .cia update for Pokemon Ultra Sun "v.1.2" by .cia, just put in the folder using your computer, and go to the 3ds and install the .cia, probably it will works, in Citra is kinda similar, so really easy!
I hope I have helped you.

Wouldn't that cause any trouble?

You can only update via eshop if it is the game is same region as the ehop, outside of that you have to resort to cia for update. Not like Nintendo really care about the 3DS these day, as long you don't cheat in online game like Smash you probably be fine.

Oh, i thought the eShop would block it or something like this

Nope, only if someone bought a region changed 3DS, they might have no eshop access since it probably not done correctly.

tbf the eshop used to let you download anygame directly from it if you had the ticket for the game id installed
