If there is a written out signed rpm you can find it at (for example):

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/fedrepo-req/1.5.0/2.fc28/data/signed/9db62fb1/noarch/fedrepo-req-1.5.0-2.fc28.noarch.rpm

These are culled when they are no longer tagged into active release
tags, but if they are recent enough there should be a written out signed
rpm.

koji download-build also has a option to download signed packages:

  --key=KEY             Download rpms signed with the given key
