Take another look at the man page:

         --import file           Import GPG key(s) from file into sa-update's
                                 keyring. Use multiple times for multiple files

[...]

       --import
           Use to import GPG key(s) from a file into the sa-update
keyring which is located in the
           directory specified by --gpghomedir.  Before using channels
from third party sources,
           you should use this option to import the GPG key(s) used by
those channels.  You must
           still use the --gpgkey or --gpgkeyfile options above to get
sa-update to trust imported
           keys.

           To import multiple keys, use the option multiple times.  i.e.:

                   sa-update --import channel1-GPG.KEY --import channel2-GPG.KEY

           Note: use of this option automatically enables GPG verification.
