I had a hard time solving this. These are my notes for everybody passing by and affected by the same (weird) issue:

sudo rm -f /var/lib/pacman/sync/* /var/cache/pacman/pkg/* /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
sudo pacman -Sy manjaro-keyring archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate
sudo pacman -Syy

This might be the sledgehammer approach, so use with caution.

@boredland Did you already cared to include your updated key in the manjaro-keyring package or how is this process triggered ?

@boredland Btw, your key key expires 2023-07-07, it would be good to renew it soon.
