The wheel is free to spin on the shaft. That means there is zero stiffness in the rotational direction, which results in a zero frequency. After you change the revolute joint to a fixed joint, the wheel now has a stiffness to ground in the rotational direction and you get a non-zero frequency. I explained how the intertial load of rotational velocity works in your other discussion.
