Keyservers seem to do that.

GnuPG locating keys on the local keyring does not.

A user with GnuPG configured to automatically fetch keys from a
keyserver when not found locally might end up needlessly
re-downloading a correspondent's key each time they encrypted to (or
verified a signature from) <foo at example.com>. But they would be
stuffed when the email client was trying to match their own key to
sign a message.
