You seem to have missed step 0:

Verify your own key fingerprint in ks2012-pubring.gpg by comparing:

gpg --fingerprint $KEY_ID
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./ks2012-pubring.gpg --fingerprint $REAL_NAME

(Normally, people would verify their key fingerprints in
ks2012-fingerprints.txt, but unless we also agree the sha256sum of that
then no-one can rely on the contents of that file as more than a
checklist.)
