It's related to the flow temp. and Mach no. - so the fan nozzle with its colder flow has a lower velocity than the hot core exhaust.

Trying to work it backwards from mass flow and thrust seems the wrong way around. A small engine with reheat will certainly have a greater exhaust velocity than a large high-bypass commercial fan.
