Your key was received, but had not at the time been added into the
master keyrings. Since `keyring-maint' is really a person, it can
occasionally take time for updates to be processed.
NOTE: Anyone who has recently sent a simple update (as opposed to a new
or deleted key) to keyring-maint should resend it via the keyserver.
A number of new keys were incorporated today (including yours Brian),
see /org/keyring.debian.org/changelog on auric.d.o:

The keyserver accepts anything which looks like a public key and queues
it. Those incoming keys are then processed asynchronously (every 15
mins), at which point it may or may not be accepted.
The `successful operation' message from gpg merely indicates that it was
able to successfully send the key(s) to the server and received a `200'
response message.
