Skin tone Color Correction in LR6 only works after roundtrip to Photoshop????

I shoot photos of nightclub dancers in RAW format on my Nikon DSLR.  Sometimes gelled color lights saturate people's skin. I find in most situations a quick application of the color correction eyedropper correctly restores the dancer's proper skin tone while changing the hue of the entire photograph, which is fine.   However I notice if the gelled light is "red",  the color correction does not work.  I tried doing a round trip to Photoshop CC, changing noting but saving the image, then once returned to Lightroom, with the saved Photoshop image, the color correction eyedropper works.  Why is that??   What can I do to make this work natively in LRcc?
