Here is how I fixed it:
first do
export GNUPGHOME=/root/.gnupg
and then start urpmi with whatever parameters you do.

That is because cron daemon runs with HOME=/ and gnupg (which is used by
urpmi) looks for keys in $HOME/.gnupg

Another alternative is to make a link from /root/.gnupg (or where you
have the keys) to /.gnupg,
but I don't like this method.
