Maybe I`m daft, but I don`t understand what you`re trying to do: you say you
have already installed the updates (presumably ignoring the error messages
for absebce of sigs.) and now you want to check the signatures *afterward*?

I understand it will give a sense of comfort afterward, but the security
would be in checking during (or in my previous example before) installing
the package.

If rpm does not have the sig. in the keyring it must be imported, otherwise
the sig. can`t be checked. You asked for the simplest way, so that`s what I
gave you, IMO. 

But you might also manage the keys via MCC --> Software management -->
Software media manager....--> Manage keys.
