If I'm asking the question, is there anyone who can help me? Which would sound more natural to the native?
¿Hay alguien que me pueda ayudar?
Or
¿Me puede ayudar alguien?

¿Hay alguien que me pueda ayudar?
This sounds natural if the context is a calm situation.
¿Me puede ayudar alguien?
This sounds natural if the context is that of someone needing help immediately or someone in trouble.

Si fuera yo, diría la primera. "¿Hay alguien que me pueda ayudar?"

Ok. That is interesting because I have been told that like if if you were simply making a statement such as " nobody is coming " it wouldn't sound natural to say, no hay nadie que venga, and that It would sound more natural to say, no viene nadie. Is this correct ?
