To make the list dynamic (not having to restart Alfresco for each entry added in the database) I added

public List<String> getAllowedValues(){
           this.loadDB();
           return super.getAllowedValues();
        }

to my contraint.

This made the getDisplayLabel method from my first post to trigger a loadDB for each label.
So I had to change to way a value is translated into a label.

public String getDisplayLabel(String constraintAllowableValue)
        {
            if (!super.getAllowedValues().contains(constraintAllowableValue))
            {
                return null;
            }
            String message = this.getAllowedLabels().get(super.getAllowedValues().indexOf(constraintAllowableValue));
            return message == null ? constraintAllowableValue : message;
        }
