This is more a likely a problem with Sylpheed (can you test with
Claws-Mail instead?).

(Restart is not necessary.)

The problem exists with both, pubring.gpg and pubring.kbx, right?

Is that for pubring.kbx only?  This is the first report I recall for gpg
but we sometimes have such duplicates with gpgsm.

What you can do now is:

  gpg --export-ownertrust >myownertrust.lst
  gpg --export >allmykeys.gpg
  rm pubring.kbx
  gpg --import <allmykeys.gpg
  
The first export is just a backup in case something goes wrong.
