If the robot is pushing against a brick wall, and the wheels are not turning, then the rollers will not be spinning. Everything looks static. Try it.

I don't think your illustration of traction limited pushing is quite correct, but I'll let someone smarter than me clarify independent of mecanum wheel rollers always spinning.

This question is easily resolved by running a simple test. Drive your mecanum-wheeled robot on a carpet against a wall and push forward. Up to a point, the wheels will be completely static. Only when the wheels break free and start to spin, will the rollers spin also.
