Your are mixing up two things: The statement that you checked the
owneership of the key at a certain date and how far you trust the
owner of the key to implement decent keymanagment abilities.  The
latter is what ownertrust is about and for a reason OpenPGP does not
define any semantics for it; i.e. there are no explicit rules for a
PKI and every user/group may make up their own rules.
