Key ID is not available as such, only as a part of :pgpsig format 
extension as seen in the Signature line of -qi output. For example to 
query package name + its RSA signature (if it exists) in "human 
readable" format you could use:

rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %|RSAHEADER?{%{RSAHEADER:pgpsig}}:{(none)}|\n"

See the --info alias in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt* for the gory details how 
to handle all the possible signature types.
