Preflop
I think, this is a losing call long term, when you make it from SB. SB calling is way different from BB calling, because you are getting a worse price and not closing action. BB can still put in a 3-bet, and when he does that, you have to fold. JTs also dont have great equity against an UTG open range even at 6-max, and you are out of position postflop with a capped range. So everything works against you here, which is why, I would much rather 3-bet this hand. By 3-betting you give yourself fold equity, and if he call, you can continue firing on a flop like this. Or you can just fold. Its not nessesary to defend your SB to an UTG open very often at all.

Flop
This is a great flop for your range and also your hand, since you have a gutshot to the nuts, a BDFD and two overcards. The opponent can have all the pocket pairs 66+, but he also have a lot of broadways, that missed, so this is a great board to attack him with a check-raise. Once again I dont like the passive option, because you are out of position, and you have zero showdown value with J high. If you are going to play this hand at all, it needs to be "J high like a boss", not "J high like a calling station".

Turn
You picked up a flushdraw, but the A also gives him a lot of top pair. I would never get here like this, but as played I guess, you have to check and call any bet up to around 3/4 pot, since you now have a 12-out draw. I dont like leading, because it would be a disaster to get raised.
