Yes they are installed _on your hard drive_ as part of the SL installation,
but they are not installed into the rpm database, so just because they're
there doesn't mean you're using them. The next step is to:

# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*

and from what is being discussed here, the person above is suggesting that the
installation do the above command to install the keys into the rpm database.

On a side note, the key:

error: /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-cern: import read failed(0).

fails to import.

Michael.
