Use four rotating electrodes as you have shown, and use only two stationary
electrodes - one in front and one in back of the disk.  This will yield the
same BPS as the geometry that you originally planned.

But I also agree with Ted, the losses in a conductive ring of any
reasonable material would be negligible.
