best is to blow the air OUT of the room, no need to pump in fresh air.
Sorry but thats not true , fresh air must be pumped to cool down the machines , it's a simple rule if there is exhaust there must be intake to fill the hot air pumped out with cool fresh air.

Shouldn't the pressure created from the exhaust, if it's enough, create the suction needed to bring the fresh air in?

yes

vent  >>>>>>>>  gear >>>>>> exhaust fan >>>>>>

can work  but many details are needed.
4 rigs   could be 6 nvidia 1080 ti cards per rig  or close to 4500 watts
the no fan vent could be too small.
the  fanned exhaust vent needs to be strong
we have two of these

in the solar array  we have 9kwatts of mixed gear

and this is in now

goal is to make a tunnel for wind to flow the heat out the exhaust.

the tarp is on top  it shades  the loft and reflects heat.

the silver bubble is not in yet   it will be second

the car insulation is in and goes around the gear racks fully.  it is a heat shield it is fire proof as it is used on car engines  to reduce sound and stop heat from reaching the driver
