Is there a way to disable the remote content loading only for messages marked as junk? I am aware that I can disable for all messages via Preferences, however I always want to show remote content on non-junk messages.

Is it an IMAP mailbox? I had this problem with my self-hosted IMAP account, where iMail couldn't move the message into the junkbox on the server and kept finding it in the inbox. I deleted the IMAP account, it's associated mailboxes on the server and started again and it worked alright.
Mail.app has a feature called rules that enables you to automate your mail tasks.
You can define rules in the Mail preferences.

Now if you view it, it will show this banner instead of loading remote content:
