How should the system know whether it is needed or not? You may have
not pulled yet a single package from the repo in question (like
rawhide, ATrpms etc), so it boils down to a matter of site policy.

In theory, if all keys are mentioned in the yum config files, you can
remove all and let yum get back only the ones that are registred in
there.
