The contacts are below, close to the ground plane possible less coupling
and short so less inductance.

Since most of these larger relays have the long armatures which run
parallel to the coil and the coil is not shielded? (right
?), there would be RF coupling between the armature and the coil. It
would also seem that, for a given voltage, higher current relays would
imply larger wire, fewer turns, and less inductance for Port to Port
coupling (right ?).
Can't do much to reduce inner relay coupling but you could reduce relay
to relay coupling by using a small RF choke (100uH) in the both existing
relay coil leads. I like the WireWound ones from Bourns (CM322522-101K1).
