Keys do get temporarily "trapped" on the SKS keyserver network until
keyserver.kjsl.com copies them over to the rest of the planet.
BTW, your subkey isn't currently usable:
sub 2048g/0CC897B5 2006-06-11 [subkey]
Key fingerprint = CCE0 5315 0022 9460 0337 6C6F 4253 1C9A 0CC8 97B5
sig 0x18 2E604D51 2006-06-11 [skey EXPIRED 2006-12-08] [keybind, hash: type
2, e0 0f]
sig 0x18 2E604D51 2006-06-11 [skey EXPIRED 2006-12-08] [keybind, hash: type
2, e0 0f]

NB: I think if GPG printed the IP address of the keyserver it used, it
could end some of this confusion.
Specifically, these were in a batch update from SKS to onak/OpenPKSD/pks/
etc. (all times are TZ=UTC):
