Question:
Trying to figure out which trunk mount bike racks will fit a 2004 Mazda6 sedan with the factory spoiler as very few seem to specify whether they will or not.

I do have a solution for you but the spoiler on your 2004 Mazda 6 is going to interfere with the safe mounting of a trunk mount bike rack.
What you can do is install a trailer hitch, like # 24775, and use a hitch mount bike rack. For a bike rack you need one that is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. I recommend the Swagman Titan, # S63400. This bike rack comes with anti-sway cradles, the ability to tilt down, and an integrated cable lock. It also has a rise in the shank for better ground clearance.
I have included some links on the hitch and the bike rack for you to view.
