It is incorrect to think of magnetic fields as rotating as you mentioned.
Doing so can lead to serious errors. You're also incorrectly assuning that
no E-field in one frame means no E-field in all other frames. That is also
incorrect.

If the magnetic is rotated there will be no EMF but there will be an
electric field

The diagrams you posted are too confusing to read.
