Viewed from the rotating frame, light is being emitted

Light doesn't have a 'frequency'. It has a wavelength.
The conventional frequency associated with light is inferred as the 'number of
wavecrests ariving per second'.
Frequency = angular frequency/2pi
Angular frequency = (d/dt)phase(t)

A photon goes through one 'cycle' when it traverses a distance equal to one of
its absolute wavelengths. This is irrespective of its 'speed', ..which is very
logical since speed is relative to the observer.

Indeed.
And the numbers of such cycles per time unit are different
for your two photons emitted from the same source.

You are comparing the phase of your 'photons' at the detector,
so your 'photons' have a phase. This phase is changing with
time, so your photons have an angular frequency.

The angular frequencies of the two photons emitted
from the same source are different.

A photon has an intrinsic oscillation of an as yet unknown kind.

The conventional 'frequency' associated with light is just the 'wavecrest
emission rate' or 'wavecrest arrival rate' at a particular observer.

Go figure.

I have. I'm always one step ahead of you.

Sure.
Your current 'model' is always different from the one you
last proposed, which invariably proved to be self contradictory nonsense.

BTW, what is your current model?
