Fedora is a community distribution sponsored, but not owned, by Red Hat. It started when the original Red Hat distribution was discontinued in favor of RHEL. Personally, I see it as a kind of testbed/incubator for RHEL as far as software is concerned. But their repositories are completely separated, meaning Fedora doesn't use software from RHN and vice versa.
If you're looking for a free variant of RHEL, take a look at
Scientific Linux or
CentOS.

RPMKEYS(8) System Manager's Manual RPMKEYS(8)
NAME
rpmkeys - RPM Keyring
SYNOPSIS
rpmkeys {--import|--checksig}
DESCRIPTION
The general forms of rpm digital signature commands are
rpmkeys --import PUBKEY ...
rpmkeys {-K|--checksig} PACKAGE_FILE ...
The --checksig option checks all the digests and signatures contained in PACKAGE_FILE to ensure the integrity and origin of the package.
Note that signatures are now verified whenever a package is read, and --checksig is useful to verify all of the digests and signatures
associated with a package.
Digital signatures cannot be verified without a public key. An ASCII armored public key can be added to the rpm database using --import.
An imported public key is carried in a header, and key ring management is performed exactly like package management. For example, all cur-
rently imported public keys can be displayed by:
rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by querying. Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like packages. Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e

rpmkeys --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
matches what's available.
