"Ch" sound is found in 'spatula' but not in 'national'.
For pronunciation there is no specific rule. For British English, it is said to be RP i.e. 'Received Pronunciation'. It is as spoken in southern part of UK/London.

National has an "sh" sound in nearly all regional variants of American English.
