I would be slightly concerned about this - your centos install isnt a standard 
install - which should cause some alarm and maybe point at potential compromised 
media.

Mechanisms for handling the key are built into yum, the fact that your system 
didnt come up with that would be further cause for concern.

did you sha1sum check the iso's ? did you run the media check on the install media ?
