Presumably, the induced rotating field in the rotor and in the stator have the same rotational period, so never change relative to each other, so a force is never effected in the rotor, as the filed lines are all nicely aligned. If anything, it would magnetically "glue" the rotor in place as the aligned fields would have a lower energy configuration from "snapping" into each other.
