What's the issue here?

The key wasn't already present in your rpm database (have you never done 
"yum update" on this system before?), so yum imported the repo GPG key 
from the file already on your system from the initial install 
(/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora) as it is configured to do by the 
repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo. It then used the key to 
verify that the downloaded evolution-data-server package was intact and 
actually an official Fedora package.
