 For each release Fedora use new GPG key:
 https://fedoraproject.org/nb/keys

 And they are required for upgrade to Fedora n+1
 So they have to be part of upgrade tools.

 But this keys are created only short time before release of Fedora n+1.
 Which imply that upgrade tools needs to be (re)build short time before
 release of Fedora as well.
 This is suboptimal.

 I would like to suggest that GPG keys for Fedora n+1 are created just
 after release of Fedora n. Or at least when Fedora n+1 is git branched.
 This will give authors of upgrade tools more time for development and code
 stabilization even when the packages are not yet signed in early phase of
 Fedora.
