Loki lost the Sovereign power when Loptr stole it from him. But then after the Eyes were destroyed, the Sovereign power will have been erased as well. That power was to control the Eyes directly, but you can't control something that no longer exists. Basically, it's gone.

Secondly, to think that Loptr actively controlled Balder isn't correct. The essence of pure evil that Loptr had inside him corrupted Balder's thoughts and spurred him on to perform his actions in the first game, but it wasn't like Loptr had posessed him or directly controlled him. It was just rather the essence of what he was that twisted Balder's thoughts (after all, Balder thinks he's doing a good thing by awakening Jubileus). Loptr wasn't trying to 'control' Jubileus and neither was Balder, especially as Balder even admits that Jubileus can't be controlled when she has the Eyes as her power source. Balder's twisted thoughts aligned with those of the angels' true intentions that are revealed in the second game: that Jubileus should be the only one to posess the Eyes so that Paradiso can become the dominant realm of the Trinity.

Lastly, Loki had escaped to the future through time travel after Loptr attempted to take the Eyes and the Sovereign power during the Witch Hunts and failed. He arrives in the same time period as Bayonetta 2, but he has lost his memories in doing so. Even with his memories intact, Loki would not be able to erase the Eyes since he only does this after the events of the first game and you can't erase something twice.
