as i remember it, new fedora releases typically become available mid to late morning of the release date, but i checked one of my common canadian mirrors and there it is (DVD image, checksum, netinst.iso), but the last modified date of all of that is back on dec 12.
would that actually be the official release, or simply a misnamed beta? hmmmm ... it appears that mirrors.kernel.org has it up, with the same last modified dates. so i'm starting to be convinced.

If there are signed checksum files, and they verify properly (see https://fedoraproject.org/en/verify ), then you can trust them, regardless of where you downloaded them from. The Gold Final version was RC1.1, which at the moment is still in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/20-RC1.1/ (see the Go/No-Go meeting details from the links in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2013-December/000838... ). The checksums in your signed files should be identical to the ones in the unsigned files, and the signatures should be good.
BTW, the reason the ISO times are from Dec. 12 is that that's when they were created - the Go/No-Go meeting was on that date and they were finished just in time.
