invalid or corrupted package

# sudo pacman -Syyu

At the end of which I'm getting quite a few of these:

error: vim: signature from "Levente Polyak (anthraxx) <levente@leventepolyak.net>" is unknown trust
:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/vim-8.2.4651-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).
Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] Y

And these messages right at the end:

error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I keep doing `sudo pacman -Syyu` and keep getting the same problem. I tried re-ordering the contents of /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist but that didn't help. Are these files really corrupted? Where do they keep coming from? How to get out of this situation?

Start by not running "-yy", check the manpage about what the second "y" really does and understand that if you're unconditionally using it, you're provoking database corruptions as well as needless load on the mirror.
Then "pacman -S archlinux-keyring" ahead.

Thanks @seth. These commands seemed to result in a clean upgrade:

pacman -S archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman -Syu
