Failed to Install Packages to new Root

I'm trying to install Arch
Whenever I go through with installing the base packages (pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel), I keep getting this:

error: libpsl: signature from "Levente Polyak (anthraxx) <levente@leventepolyak.net>" is unknown trust
: : File /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/libpsl-0.17.0.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] (I've tried both yes and no)
error: krb5: signature from "Levente Polyak (anthraxx) <levente@leventepolyak.net>" is unknown trust
: : File /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/krb5-1.13.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature))).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] (I've tried both yes and no)
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted packages)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

Also, it should probably be noted that I'm doing this off of a Live USB running a version of Arch from last year (2016_03)
I've tried using a newer ISO, thinking that the packages were outdated, but I wasn't able to boot from it (archlinux-2017.04.01-x86_64)
(I'm using YUMI to create Live USB's)

What should I do?

You should really use an up-to-date installation iso, but if that isn't possible, you might be able to get by by updating the archlinux-keyring package in the live environment before running pacstrap.

EDIT:

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring

Note that '-Sy <package>' in this case is a special time thing, you should not use it in an installed system as it will lead to partial updates which are not supported.

Thank you so much! It worked like a charm!
However, I wonder why the newest ISO wouldn't work on the device;
As in, it would always output something like:

ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201704' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off

corrupted pkgs and device errors prbly point to problems with USB device

No, the "corrupt packages" were just due to using an old iso with an outdated keyring - they aren't stored on the usb anyways, so a usb hardware issue would not lead to those symptoms. The second error is quite common, and usually a result of using something other than dd to create the live usb.
