That should be removing the 'unread' tag.

Therefore it sounds like you want to be using a search including
'tag:unread' to get the behaviour that you want. Obviously that might
not show you all the threads that you want.

There is a notmuch-show-next-unread-message, but it's not bound to
anything by default. That might also be useful to you.

Thanks,
