The spray will just attact dirt and could contaminate the belt friction surface.
The grease leaks out at the seal to outer race interface. The centrifical force is the motivator. That static seal line really needs to be sealed. I did as much with a new pully a couple of months or weeks before my 95SET was struck dead on the expressway. So I can't tell you about the long term benefits of that.
So the smaller pullies spin too fast, and catagorically, any high speed application of a bearing of this type with the outer race spinning is a mis-application, pure and simple. So you have to understand, inspect and replace as prevenative maintenance.
