Yes. The Release 3 Signing Key is signed by the Qubes Master Signing
Key, and you can check this signature in order to verify that the
Release 3 Signing Key is authentic.

I don't use gpg4win, so I'm afraid I can't provide instructions for
that program. However, I can show you how to do it in GnuPG (on
Linux). Perhaps gpg4win has a way to accept GnuPG commands, or perhaps
this will help you search for the equivalent gpg4win instructions.
Here's how I'd do it in GnuPG:

uid [ultimate] Qubes Master Signing Key
======
First, we check the signatures on the Release 3 Signing Key and find
that there are two good signatures: one from the Release 3 Signing Key
itself and one from a key named "Qubes Master Signing Key." Since
anyone can create a key with this name, we then check that the full
fingerprint of the key claiming to be the Qubes Master Signing Key
matches the fingerprint we've obtained and verified through multiple
independent channels.
In this case, the signature check shows us the long-form ID of each
signing key, which is probably not easy to forge (much harder than the
short-form, at least), but it's still safer to check the full
fingerprint.
Since I've already set the trust level of the Qubes Master Signing Key
to "ultimate" in this keyring, the Release 3 Signing Key automatically
has a trust level of "full" (given the default trust model) because
it's signed by the Qubes Master Signing Key.
