It is possible afaik, but it is less secure, because yum can not check, 
whether or not the downloaded key is really the wanted. It would work, if the 
download url is an https one and there is a good certificate used and yum 
verifies whether or not the certificate is valid. But imho shipping the gpg 
keys with mock is less error-prone.
