Right -- rpm only knows about packages you add via rpm packages, not
about random things you compile from source.

You should be building a gnupg rpm.

The only sane advice would be to undo what you have done and not
attempt to replace core system components until you better understand
the system you are working with.

I would recommend reading up on building packages with rpm, if you
really feel that you must have a newer gnupg version installed in your
server(s).

A few places to start might be:
