The exception is a spell with "Indefinite" duration, which is to say a maintained spell. Those do interfere with other spellcasting per Sorcery p8, and prevent you from swapping out your active spell as long as you're maintaining the current one.

(I don't think that Sorcery actually specifies that a maintained spell ends the turn the caster swaps out their active spell, as opposed to at the end of its 1-minute activation period. That seems to be implied by the way MA and AAs normally work. You might even interpret that as not allowing the spell swap at all until the duration expires, but that seems like it's taking "while maintaining a spell a sorcerer cannot cast further spells" a bit far. Allowing a spell to last for its entire 1-minute activation period after a swap and further casting seems very generous.)
