You are still not getting it. Even at full thrust there is little suction in flight. At minimum thrust (idle) there is none or almost none. The airflow that is pushed into the engine from airspeed is enough to provide the minimum thrust, just as with the ram jet getting all its air from the incoming air. You have the same but less so with a jet engine at minimum thrust. None of the numbers you have presented disputes that.
