Clay Soil: The principle function of the rock dust is that the minerals in it boost the living organisms of the soil ie everything from the bacteria to the worms. These will be struggling in sticky clay soil as it has the normal breathing pores will be full of water / sticky clay particles. Once the boosted soil organisms get going they will help drag humus into the clay area and break it up.
