Want to ping the list on this (copied by hand because I yummed from a virtual console instead of X11):

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
Public key for evolution-data-server-1.6.2-1.fc5.1.i386.rpm is not installed
Retrieving GPG key from file :///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
Importing GPG key 0x4F2A6FD2 "Fedora Project <fedora@xxxxxxxxxx>"

I found the key and fingerprint at

    http://fedora.redhat.com/About/security/

after some indirect searching and checked that the fingerprint and random pieces of the encoded key match.

What's the issue here?

The key wasn't already present in your rpm database (have you never done "yum update" on this system before?), so yum imported the repo GPG key from the file already on your system from the initial install (/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora) as it is configured to do by the repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo. It then used the key to verify that the downloaded evolution-data-server package was intact and actually an official Fedora package.
