Sounds like you might have been looking at a cached version.  Your
browser displayed what was cached, but RPM doesn't use your browser's
cache.

For future references, if you did save the file to your drive, you could
have done an rpm --import followed by the local path to the file.  It
doesn't have to import them from a web address.  The same applies to
importing keys from things like install CD- or DVD-ROMs.

e.g. rpm --import /media/cdrom/RPM-something-GPG-key

That one was actually easy.  Harder is when you get something from a
website, and it tells you to check it against the key, but doesn't
provide a link to the key, nor includes the key anywhere on the page,
and never names the key that you need to check against (so you can't
search for it).  Grr...
