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.html
). 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.
