FreeBSD:15:aarch64 pkgbase signing keys

Hello. I've successfully upgraded 3 amd64 machines from 14.3-RELEASE to 15.0-RELEASE and locally built 15.0-STABLE, in a mix of UFS and ZFS installations. However, I am having trouble upgrading my pkgbasify'd 14.3-RELEASE aarch64 VM to 15.0-RELEASE. I have installed the pkgbase-15 keys in the same manner as my amd64 installations, and it truly looks like the aarch64 repo is signed using a different key.

Code:

# find /usr/share/keys
/usr/share/keys
/usr/share/keys/pkg
/usr/share/keys/pkg/trusted
/usr/share/keys/pkg/trusted/pkg.freebsd.org.2013102301
/usr/share/keys/pkg/revoked
/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15
/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/revoked
/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted
/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted/backup-signing-15
/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15/trusted/awskms-15
# cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf
FreeBSD-base: {

  enabled: yes
}
