RPM-GPG-KEY error while doing 'yum update' / 'yum install'

While I was trying to update my fedora release I got the following error:

GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] curl#37 - "Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64"

Therefore my update could not finish. I was also not able to install anything using yum due to the same error.

I'm running of Fedora 21 (recently updated from Fedora 19 using fedup).

I looked at the differens of the files fedora-updates.repo and fedora-updates.repo.rpmnew in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/

I notiched that the $releaseserver varialble was missing in fedora-updates.repo

So I changed all the lines from

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

to

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch

After that I could update without any problems.
