Umm: since rpm is not yet fixed, you still need to do the:

# rpm --root /mnt/sysimage ... whatever command you are trying!

It won't matter what order the parameters are in although probably any 
packages should be last on the command line.

To check:
# rpm ... -q neon

To verify: {should be no output unless mod it to -Vv)
# rpm ... -V neon

The message suggests that the pgp security key has not yet been 
installed. I would have thought that this would be one of the first that 
got upgraded, and I forgot to get you to list it.

# rpm -Uvh ... fedora-release*
If still "not happy Jan", then

# rpm -Uvh --nosignature ... fedora-release*
and then try the last thing again {still need the --root /mnt/sysimage 
until rpm can work by itself ;-)

If still wont install neon, might need to:
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras

Good, then you will at least have all packages available.

ps: Perhaps the upgrade ran out of space ? Also, if there is a lot of 
third-party repository packages installed, you might get snookered 
because matching updates for these are not installable while attempting 
to upgrade the old stuff.
