% If I modify web.gpg_keyring in /etc/rhn/default/rhn_web.conf to point to a 
different keyring than the default of /etc/webapp-keyring.gpg will it stop 
using those keys and if so will doing that have any adverse effects?

These key are used only to localy verify certificate via rhn-satellite-activate 
--disconnected.
So it's sane to point it to your keyring when using self signed certificate.
