I think it would probably still smolder.
The magnet collects the dust pretty effectively and it builds up fast and the outermost surface of the dust ball would probably be exposed to enough sparks to ignite.
Standing water seems most effective for a DIY 'home shop' solution.
So, I have a stainless bowl with a few inches of water in it and a magnet at the bottom.
The magnet serves two purposes, sticks the bowl to the base plate, and draws the dust in.
Not sure it is the perfect solution, but so far it has helped.
