This is incorrect. (I have good reason to know that it is; see below.)

That output says absolutely nothing about whether the key is signed by
other keys which you have available. It simply says that you have not
personally trusted the key.

Actually checking the signatures on the key reveals:

$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg  --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-role-keys.gpg --list-sigs 6294BE9B
