Where is this example?

After I view the whole po file again, the example I took seems not a good one :)

But it can reflect that confusion occurs sometime.

This string tells us that they are public keys.

#: data/content/keys/index.html:21

msgid ""

"This page lists the public GPG keys used for signing packages in Fedora."

So we can conclude that keys related to packages signing in the po file should be public keys.

Then what about this one:

#: data/content/verify.html:75

162 msgid "Next, import Fedora's GPG key(s):"

We may not sure whether it is a public or private at once.

I'm not familiar with the tools used here, really. Might it be easier
to have a wiki page with notes for translators?

This is not a good choice.

The better way is integrate them into po files. Although I don't know how to make this happen.
