Comment (by n8fr8):

 If you install Orbot from the public F-Droid repo, then the key uses there
 is the F-Droid signing key, since they build Orbot from source.

 If you install Orbot from Google Play, the Guardian Project F-Droid repo,
 or the direct APK download, it will be signed with the Tor Project signing
 key.

 It is likely you switched from one stream to the other accidentally.
