As with most things in life, "it depends."  There are almost certainly
environments in which doing so makes a lot of sense.  Competing
standards, such as S/MIME, do something similar to this as a matter of
course, so it's not entirely whacked-out.

That said, in the OpenPGP community usage like this seems pretty rare.
Most people are happy to just use the certificate servers.  :)
