User blog comment:DarthOrc/Dragon Attack inside Whiterun/@comment-579326-20120601044623

A dragon attacked Whiterun DURING my capture of Odahviing so I had to deal with two dragons in that quest. After getting killed and restarting from a previous save, the second dragon was gone until I set foot in Whiterun again and an attack got triggered. From that point, I'll say dragons will attack Whiterun despite the presense of Dragonsreach.
