why not use i.e spamass milter with postfix to flag, and then use sieve
global rule to sort in Users Imap Junk Folder, to download SPAM Mails in
imap Junk folder via pop3 to , use dovecot virtual plugin

see

sorry german only but configs should speak for its own

i dont get what your problem is exactly
but looks like you wanna pre sort mail about other stuff  ( i.e. sender
) and doing spam sort at last, should be no problem with a sieve user
rule if spam score is allready in the mail ( flagged by spamassassin
before) etc
