It depends on what the receiver's 4K specs are. All 4K inputs/outputs are not created equal. But if you get a 4K player it may be advisable to get one with dual HDMI outputs, that way you can pipe the audio to the receiver and the video to the TV. Or you can use the ARC function. But if you receiver features HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 you should be all set (and future proofed as far as possible). I'd imagine as your receiver features 4K UHD pass-through you should be fine.
