It cools back down when the water evaporates. But it doesn't do the oceans any good anyhow because thea heat also fuels algae blooms.
I doubt it will become popular because it involves waterproofing the enclosures, complicates maintenance staff access, and also carries the risk of water getting in and damaging the equipment.
There are other alternatives to AC. Using a cooling tower is a much better alternative to submerging the whole datacenter.

What happens to some of the individual servers between maintenance is of less importance. The infrastructure can handle the failures and they can just turn off the affected servers if they cannot fulfill any role.
