Obs auto-extends these keys normally, and at least the essentials key 
seems to be extended already:

$ posc signkey Essentials|gpg
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
pub   rsa2048 2014-05-15 [SC] [expires: 2027-08-25]
       52B1F263223D311D1FD041409045A0016946124B
uid           Essentials OBS Project <Essentials at packman.links2linux.de>

Multimedia is not yet:
$ posc signkey Multimedia|gpg
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
pub   rsa2048 2014-05-15 [SC] [expires: 2025-07-02]
       53027CA585A802816CB3B2C3CB787E2A60587B34
uid           Multimedia OBS Project <Multimedia at packman.links2linux.de>

But what repo URLs do you use to get the "raw" packman repos? Normally 
the repos (and packages) are re-sigened with this key:

pub   rsa4096 2006-09-18 [SC] [expires: 2026-09-03]
       F8875B880D518B6B8C530D1345A1D0671ABD1AFB
uid           PackMan Project (signing key) <packman at links2linux.de>

before being sent to the mirrors...
