Can a battery lose power when the negative cable is disconnected?

Yes, but much more slowly than when the cable remains connected. Batteries lose power as they age. Attached cables, even when the circuit is open, accelerates this process.

Even then, after multiple years in storage, you may have trouble starting the car without first charging the battery.
