This security thing is very new thats why not much of it is documented yet.

- The content.key is a GPG public key, ascii armor protected.

- With this key, the content file is signed. The content file contains 
references
  to the metadata of CD, including more keys.

- YUM repodata also must be signed with one of those public keys to
  be accepted.

In the next beta/rc there will be key dialogs shown that allow accepting,
importing keys and similar.
