You may want both to prevent your plants's pollen from escaping the greenhouse, as well as having them cross-pollinated from outside.

You want to prevent propagation through the greenhouse walls, not only into or out of them.

Also greenhouses are horrible places for diseases, pests, molds, fungi, & etc.  After a couple of years the most effective means to fight them is to burn the place down and rebuild in a new location.  And it is impossible to keep the place clean.  For example, the Tobacco Mosaic Virus is one nasty son-of-a-bitch and it is brought in on people's clothing exposed to cigarette smoke.

Actually & for real in the field!  

These are some dedicated folks.  I've seen pictures of guys dangling from ropes on a vertical seacliff busy with their little brushes.

Non-native plants with no local pollinators?

Native plants whose pollenators have gone extinct since the arrival of humans.
