Spinning or not, the area between the blades remains the same and at near ambient pressure. The most significant blunt area is the inlet cowl lip. Windmilling your compressors will build up pressure (that's how you restart) . There is little difference in realistic discussion since jet engines don't seize in most flight conditions
