I am a Maltese national travelling from Malta to Turkey, with a connection flight at Atatürk airport 6 hrs later to Dubai with Emirates.
Since the flights are with different airlines and I would need to collect luggage, do I need to go through passport control to connect to the Emirates flight?
Also, do I need a visa for transit?
Best Answer
Since the flights are with different airlines and I would need to collect luggage
Note that this only applies if it's in separate bookings. If it was a single booking, it'll be automatically checked through.
As per the other answer, to enter Turkey you can get an e-visa (on the Website or at the kiosks), using either your passport or ID card.

Answer 2
Since the flights are with different airlines and I would need to collect luggage do I need to go through passport control to connect to the emirates flight?
Yes, to collect baggage you must go through passport control first.
Also do I need a visa for transit?
Yes, baggage collection is a landside activity hence you will be entering Turkey and will require a visa. You are eligible for an e-Visa that you can easily get online or at kiosks at the Airport.
Your e-Visa will be
Number of Entries: Multiple-Entry
Visa Fee: Gratis (No Fee)
Hurray!
This answer relies on your statement that You would need to collect baggage. If you booked with a single booking that then used multiple codeshare airlines your baggage might be / can be checked through - please ask them about the status first. In that case you won't need to go through immigration hence no visa no baggage collection required.
