did you just install the system?

try adding this line to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf

keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net

if there are new keyrings to be installed, those often must be installed separately and first

# pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring archlinux32-keyring parabola-keyring --needed

Hi, I have the same error, in a new Parabola installation I try to update the keyring packages:

# pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring archlinuxarm-keyring archlinux32-keyring parabola-keyring

error: no se pudo buscar la clave «6D42BDD116E0068F» de forma remota
error: la clave necesaria no está presente en el depósito
error: no se pudo realizar la operación (error inesperado)
Ocurrieron errores, por lo que no se actualizaron los paquetes

I try to change keyserver to pool.sks-keyservers.net with the same result ...

im usually do these:
1.pacman -Sy parabola-keyring archlinux-keyring
2.pacman-key --init
3.pacman-key --populate parabola arch
4.pacman-key --refresh-keys

those are just example on my x86 machine, if you use other repos such arch32 be sure to list them as well
