No, that was the case for RH 7.x, he is using RH9. I'm not sure
why that happened, but I guess that signature you got from mit is
signed, and that's a know problem. 

However you shouldn't need to do that:

1. You can check that the srpm is the same by verifying the sha1sum
in the signed message (and verifying the signature of that
message containing the sha1sum). 

2. I wouldn't import any individual keys to the rpm db just to
check that, maybe I'm too paranoid :)

3. When the rpm is released it will be signed with the Fedora Legacy
Key, and as long as that works you're ok.
