That makes sense to me... You really only want one path for the air flow. E g. In through the front, over the components, and out the back.

Most of the fans in this setup are just fighting against each other.

Having front / bottom intake and rear / top exhaust is also fine if you have a top mounted radiator.

Side in like this case has is also fine as long both front and side have the fans mounted the same way.
