There's nothing wrong with that output.  The warning is
simply telling you that the Fedora key isn't signed by a key
you've marked as trusted.

As an aside, we (the royal we, as in folks in the Fedora
community who maintain the website) should change the
verification step to recommend gpgv rather than the gpg
command.  It would require making the fedora.gpg a
de-armored file, but then it the instructions would be
simpler.
