You don't have to trust them if you don't want. :)

Other than for upgrades, they're not automatically used, so
trust isn't really an issue.  Having them there won't cause
you to use them for installing packages.

For that, they'd need to be installed in the rpm database --
which they likely are if you continuously upgrade.

It's not a bad idea to prune them occasionally.  There's a
script to do that in the remove-retired-packages package.

It isn't too aggressive though.  In f37, it removes f30-f33
keys.  The script is /sbin/fedora-remove-old-gpg-keys.
