One way is to download the stuff from Red Hat's site itself,
and trust that no one has managed to intercept your communications.

Actually you don't need "the stuff" other than the new key, do you? And the sha1sum (or even sha256sum) of the key and the ISO install image. Once you have that you can trust the mirrors, because even if someone can corrupt a mirror it will be detected. And a list of checksums for all packages released against FC[89] so I can check my archived RPMs against it.

That should restore the level of trust present for any previous Fedora release.
