It's there, it's just in the next directory up (since it's also used
to sign the OpenBSD-specific files which are in that directory).

This is described on the OpenSSH Portable download page
(https://www.openssh.com/portable.html):

"""
The following files describe the development efforts of the OpenSSH
portability development team. The release files are signed with the
PGP public key contained in the file RELEASE_KEY.asc on the ftp site.
This key is also available through the key server network and has a
fingerprint of 7168B983815A5EEF59A4ADFD2A3F414E736060BA.
"""

and release notes (https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html):

"""
The PGP key used to sign the releases is available from the mirror sites:
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/RELEASE_KEY.asc
"""

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
