Say I already trust packages.redhat.com and install rpms regularly from it. I likely already have trusted their key.

Now packages.redhat.com gets hacked - if hacker also stole private key used for signing packages and replaced the RPMs. I will get warning/error while installing rpms (which I admit most users will ignore) but a curl|bash kinda defeats the point of package signing too.
