The point of doing that is to permit people who obtain my key through
other channels, say directly from me, to periodically refresh it.  When
I revoke my key or change the expiration date, the fact will be
communicated to holders of my public key, at least to those who refresh
their key rings.

Of course it works.  A correspondent has only to select my public key
when sending me email.  Easier still is for her to create an Enigmail
PRR associating my key with my email address or addresses.  That makes
key selection automatic.

Sounds to me like you expect a key server to double as a CA.

You gpg version is older than 2.1.20 but you used a newer version
on that keybox too.
