It will not fly. No override mean just that.

You need to either filter the application of the GPO linked to
the domain with no override so that it does not apply onto the
Citrix servers (and then replace its desired settings in some
way, such as by linking the same GPO without no override at
a low priority directly on the OU of the Citrix servers) and then
provide a policy that provides the desired setting for the
shutdown user right.

Alternatively, you could look into factoring apart that domain
linked and enforced GPO into parts that are still set for no
override and another the is not (which contains the shutdown
setting). Then you could simply link an overwriting GPO onto
the OU of the Citrix servers.

The user right to shut down the system is a computer policy.
As such loopback processing will have nothing to do with it
whetther in replace or merge mode.
