Default props and large round cowls

If you have a large round cowl in comparison to the overall diameter of the prop does that impact the amount of thrust your getting from that prop? I've seen some pictures of airplanes with lets say a 16 inch prop but the cowl is 13 inches in diameter. It seems like there is barely enough prop to create thrust or does the cowl being there not negatively impact the overall thrust generated by the prop???? Thanks for any insight!
