This is what I get on another machine same thing.
Downloads the update file and the new key, but doesn't install it?
Public key "https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub"; is
already present, not importing.
OpenPGP check for package
"google-chrome-stable-145.0.7632.67-1.x86_64"
(/var/cache/libdnf5/google-chrome-6ed7e4f336f6863c/packages/goo
gle-chrome-stable-145.0.7632.67-1.x86_64.rpm) from repo
"google-chrome" has failed: Public key is not installed.

Would not install update it found, and wasn't importing the new

Had to
rpm --erase --allmatches gpg-pubkey-d38b4796-570c8cd3
Then the dnf update prompted to install key and updated.
I don't know if this is precisely the same issue but you might be running

I could be wrong but what you are seeing I would have expected to be
standard functionality. I would have thought that the pgp keys are
just certificates and as such if the certificate needs to be changed
(for example it has expired) then you don't just go and update the
certificate you remove the old version and install the new version as
a means of ensuring that a conscious effort is being made to replace
it and not that some automated process is replacing it without anybody
knowing anything about it. I would also fully expect the message about
the public key not existing as the new version is expecting to see a
new form of the key which is not already installed, hence it doesn't
exist.
