Depending on the required level of security, that is probably fine. Protecting the origin server of a CDN via IP whitelisting is fine, if the content is publicly available via the CDN anyways and you treat that as a "we don't want everyone to use the origin, please use the CDN"-level of security. Using whitelisting to really keep people off the origin, however is probably not.
