The other link I posted[1] is about the gpgkey entry in fedora .repo files
in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo; IIUC at some point it was changed to be:
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

note the $releasever bit there; the error message you posted mentioned:
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64

The point is you'd modified one of the .repo files manually, then when the
fedora-release package was updated your changes would have been kept and
then new .repo file the updated package would have been installed as
*.repo.rpmnew; so you'd better check that issue to prevent similar problems
in the future...

As Patrick O'Callaghan posted, it is still an option, as in fedup could use
the non-live DVD ISO to upgrade:

(I've never used fedup so I have no idea how well using the ISO to upgrade
works).
