These are not the same keys. It looks like you possibly did a short-key
import (FE4B2BDA), as well as the long-key import, as the download
instructions indicate.  Here's my valid key:

mshuler@hana:~$ gpg --list-secret-key --fingerprint FE4B2BDA
gpg: please do a --check-trustdb
sec   rsa4096 2009-07-15 [SC]
      A26E 528B 271F 19B9 E5D8  E19E A278 B781 FE4B 2BDA
uid           [ unknown] Michael Shuler <mich...@pbandjelly.org>
uid           [ unknown] Michael Shuler <mshu...@gmail.com>
ssb   rsa4096 2009-07-15 [E]

In 2016, someone took a list of the strong key set and uploaded keys
with faked short-key identifiers matching those of existing keys. It's a
joe job to identify the weakness of using short key identifiers. There
are thousands of these fake keys, and they've been revoked.

Drop that bogus key from apt-keys:

apt-key del D46C5ECBFE4B2BDA

This message is signed with the correct key.
