My thought is that the air impinges on the turbine wheel, not the
compressor. So that cold air has nothing to do with lighting the mixture.

But the cold air goes through the engine after it hits the turbine wheel...

After the turbine stage is the exhaust pipe. The turbine stage is that last
moving part of a jet engine.
