EDIT : why is the system gnupg directory under /etc/pacman.d ? Wouldn't it be better to have /etc/gnupg ?
There is no _system gnupg directory_. pacman uses its own instance for package verification and usually there's no need to ever fiddle with that (and in that case, use 'pacman-key').
I also never had a /root/.gnupg, no idea what you did there.
Maybe during my today tests (dir dated as today). Removed it. As for the sockets, I do not see anyway to move them elsewhere.
Most problems with keyserver operations are due to the fact that Arch upgraded from GnuPG 2.0 to 2.1 at some point and many people (me included) never got the memo about dirmngr.conf.
