When you run "rpm --import <key>", you are telling RPM to add the key to its database. It does not matter where the key file is, as long as you give RPM the correct path to the key file. (If it is in the current directory, you do not have to specify a path.) The reason the keys are not all in the same place is that repos like Dries. Livna, and Fresh RPMS are independent from Fedora. They have packages that are not included in Fedora because of their license, or can not be distributed because of other issues. Some are not legal to use is specific countries. Those Repositories are no maintained by Redhat or Fedora. They are provided by users wanting to contribute to the community.
