Won't the traction wheels in the opposite corners cause too much friction to turn assuming all wheels are on the same plane? The point of a rocker is to cause a wheel configuration that is shorter than it is wide. With omni's in opposite corners, you will not have this configuration. This could potentially prevent turning. Prototype it though.
