If Nosenko cracks and admits Oswald was working for them it then becomes an internal secret that firms the conspiracy. It could never be told to the public because the cover-up is trying to prevent WWIII.
Nosenko acts as a trojan horse. He is sucked-in gladly because he's a propaganda victory against the Soviets. His information that KGB determined Oswald was a nut is also gladly welcomed (on the surface) because it firms the Lone Nut image. A high-level KGB member is too tempting a high profile figure and is therefore able to penetrate more deeply because he can't be ignored. The virus is delivered.
The virus is now acting in the background eating away at the hidden Mexico City secret about Oswald. The Russians don't produce world-class chess players because they're dummies. The cover-up now has a problem because a person whom KGB determines is a useless nut is not someone secretly meeting with KGB head of assassinations in Mexico in order to arrange a serious international playing field assassination. So, knowing psy-ops works best at a subtle unconscious level, KGB has now destroyed the main cover-up story. KGB forces a move where people are going to ask "well, if Oswald wasn't taken seriously and had no KGB contact, and CIA is trying to paint him as having that contact, then who was Oswald in contact with?" Common sense tells you once Oswald goes to Mexico City but has no KGB contact he then can't be a Lone Nut. A true Lone Nut doesn't need to go to Mexico for anything. The CIA sheep-dipping becomes too obvious.
If KGB forces the American public to doubt the Warren Commission to the point of public challenging of government it works in their favor. At the very least KGB could add to the lack of confidence in the government and force it to take authoritarian measures that were incompatible with democracy - all working in the KGB's favor. The Kennedy Assassination precedes an unprecedented public revolt against an ongoing unpopular war. It probably also gives Daniel Ellsberg the spite that causes him to divulge internal government documents. All delivered by a prize defector and propaganda victory for the government that swallowed the bait.
It could be that Nosenko spent that time in the torture chamber because Angleton knew he was too good a prize.
