It's sent to yum and it's the equivalent of 'gpgkey' option in .repo
file.

Software channel is what is translated to yum repo on clients side.
And yum repo can contain only one gpgkey.
On the other hand repositories-to-channel relation is many-to-many so
there would be no way how to pick a single gpg key to pass to client as
a channel (aka yum repo) gpgkey.
