Standard overcard play?

UTG is a little LAG; Button is a calling station.

I was folding the river to a raise.

Against 4 players, I don't hate playing the hand passively like this, though in the heat of battle I probably would have bet the flop.

At first this bothered me because QK or Q9 could conceivably make a play at you, but I changed my mind. I bet the flop though becuase laggy UTG could raise with some trash draw and knock out a pocket pair or 7 on the button.

Betting this very dangerous flop is a failure to adjust to changing circumstances. Your hand is probably not good, your fold equity is minimal, and the last thing you need is to get yourself raised holding a mediocre draw. The guy with the jack needs to protect his hand. You are the one he needs protection from.
