Omniwheels wouldn't be very omni in that situation. And that's the point of my idea.

I guess I still don't understand the point. Are you trying to make an omniwheel that rolls freely in every direction? A standard omniwheel does that. Are you trying to make an omniwheel that rolls freely in every direction even when it's prevented from turning around its main axis? That would work exactly against your reason for locking the drive shaft in the first place.
