This has also failed, so I've tried your suggestion, replacing 16 with 17. I then added the public key, but I still cannot do yum updates: Can anyone suggest what to do next to get updates working?

This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and yum will install it for you. For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
