If yum knew where to get the key from, it could import the key itself.

However, yum doesn't only run on Fedora, and the places that other 
distros and repos put their keys can't possibly be known to yum unless 
the repo maintainers provide that information in a place where yum can 
find it (e.g. in the .repo file for each repo).
