Brilliant - that did the trick. Many thanks indeed.

Looking at it briefly it looks like it's the way the relation is defined. Does it work when you update the PurchasedContent#contentFeature relation to:

public function contentFeature()
{
    return $this->belongsTo('App\RepoModels\ContentFeature', 'sac_repo_db.content_features');
}

Thanks for the quick reply. The following change:

public function contentFeature()
{
	return $this->belongsTo('App\RepoModels\ContentFeature', 'purchased_contents.content_feature_id', 'sac_repo_db.content_features.id');
}

creates this query which is closer but still missing where exists (select * from **sac_repo_db**.content_features ...

select purchased_contents.id, purchased_contents.title, purchased_contents.description, sac_repo_db.content_features.content_type 
  from purchased_contents 
  inner join sac_repo_db.content_features 
  on purchased_contents.content_feature_id = sac_repo_db.content_features.id 
  where exists (select * from content_features where purchased_contents.content_feature_id = sac_repo_db.content_features.id and content_type_id in (6))

Ahhh, what happens when you remove that definition we just did in PurchasedContent and in your ContentFeature model, add a $table property:

protected $table = 'sac_repo_db.content_features';

If that doesn't initially work, try it without the $connection property.
