What is the downside of doing it automatically here? Everybody will have to do it manually otherwise. You wont only need this to install a system but also to use pacman within your live environment.

Just to keep, the live-enviroment to the most default possible. I am more fan to setup pacman keyring at build time rather than at runtime, or there are any downside?
We can't do it at runtime. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that would mean we would ship the private keys needed to sign any packaging key. To turn it around (I'm inclined to agree with Pierre on this): is there any use-case where we don't need to be able to install packages from the live-environment (and hence don't need to generate the key)? -t
