The robot can simply turn like a two wheel differential drive but not actually move omni-directionally in a true holonomic sense.
Unless their drive wheels have a tremendous amount of traction, if both "omni-wheels" are powered in the same direction, the robot would move that way, regardless of the "Drive wheels" not having rollers. It would just be a less efficient holonomic drive.
