A perfect example of when you would be required to take flats again after rotation is if you are imaging through lets say the red filter, and you have to do a meridian flip, which means you have just rotated your camera 180 degrees.

In the example given in the previous post, the large donut on the green filter would shift 180 degrees also, hence flats are necessary if you rotate.
