No. If there is a revocation certificate availabale it needs to be
applied ASAP. If you refresh a key a revocation certificate would be
imported anyway.
If you want to protect against accidental import you may do what GnuPG
does:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
To avoid an accidental use of this file, a colon has been inserted
before the 5 dashes below. Remove this colon with a text editor
before importing and publishing this revocation certificate.
:-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
