I’m working on a local development that I need to publish to a live site. The live site already contains certain users in the database. Is there a way to update the database (from my local dev) without replacing the users that already exist on the live site’s database?

What do you need to update specifically? Typically in software development you never push a database from staging to production, only code.
If you’re going to update the whole database from Local to Live. You can delete the user and user meta tables from the DB so you won’t import those when doing the migration.
The other option is to import them first to the Local site and then migrate the whole thing to Live.
You can export just the posts and other content from your local environment and import it into production.
