If I'm not mistaken you should be able to update your public key from
the keyserver (assuming that whoever signed your key uploaded it to that
same server) and the signatures would be integrated into your keyring.

A lot of servers synchronize with each other, so I would have to say no,
but you should have your key on the main PGP server and one of others so
they could synchronize.

Cheers.
