Yes, without a key server enabled it fails completely.  I think that's no
longer necessary.  We could treat it as unsigned content without
introducing a security problem because with the new approach of recording
the key and signature only after a successful validation, we would record
neither the signature nor the key for such a downloaded artifact if the key
wasn't found; so it would indeed look like an unsigned artifact and would
in fact be an unsigned artifact on the client side.   But the Bugzila for
that was closed after the previous change was reverted because previously
the checker relied on seeing the signature as evidence that the artifact
was verified and previously the signature was always copied to the
destination.  In any case, it's obvious that if we can't find the key, we
can't verify anything...
