I have imported your key 015F4DD4A70FB705 (btw, you should really enable 
"keyid-format long" in your gpg.conf because there are two keys with short key 
ID A70FB705 and uid "Phillip Susi <psusi at ubuntu.com>").

$ gpg --list-keys --verbose 015F4DD4A70FB705

That's with
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.7
libgcrypt 1.8.2

So, with respect to your public key everything looks good. Are you sure you 
are trying to migrate the most recent version of your key? Which expiration 
dates does the "working system" list? Try importing your public key from a 
keyserver.
