High inside pressure inhibits motion because the temperature differences are not enough to push the vanes through the higher concentration of air: there is too much air resistance for " eddy currents " to occur, and any slight air movement caused by the temperature difference is damped by the higher pressure before the currents can " wrap around " to the other side.
