If you are paranoid enough that a former Arch developer or TU will be
able to inject a broken package into a mirror, then it certainly helps
you to run 'pacman-key --refresh-keys' regularly. You can also do so on
the live CD. This will not automatically add new keys, but certainly
remove trust from revoked keys.
