Revokation is independent of the form of key distribution. Once the keyis 
updated through any of the available means it will no longer be valid.

Especially since you said that this action is taken due to a potential system 
breach which means the potential attacker could have uploaded it if they 
wanted to impersonate you.

Well, you sent the information about the change to a mailinglist but you did 
not include the revoked key not any information where to get it.

Cheers,
Kevin
