It depends on the number of sides and the value on the die. If it is a regular die with 6 sides and the numbers 1 through 6 without 6 repeating, then it is 1 out of 6. Rolling a die is considered an independent trial. The value of the previous roll. or rolls. has no bearing on future rolls.

It is a six-sides die and since every time you roll it, it only lands on ONE number out of SIX, that is a 1/6 chance you will roll a 6.

1 out of 6, just like it is every time. Every time you roll, it's the same probability all over again.

the probability of rolling any certain number is always the same. past results have no effect on probability. answer is 1/6

It will still be a 1/6 chance, because the fourth result is not affected by your previous ones.
