I went ahead and pumped 10 pumps of grease into the zerk fitting, but see no fresh grease seeping out around the perimeter. Should I keep adding grease or leave it alone?

If you pumped that much grease in, it has to go somewhere. If there is a blown seal inside, the grease may have reached the brake area.
Do yourself a huge favor and get the Al-Ko manual for your axles/brakes/hubs. That way you'll have the answers to most any issue right at your finger tips:
