Ubuntu runs its own SKS keyserver (keyserver.ubuntu.com) and apk-add-repository use it when adding a PPA repository. I think in theory it's still possible to break package manager in Ubuntu if someone decide to poison a popular PPA repository/key.

PPA repository keys are generated by Launchpad; mere Launchpad users cannot inject arbitrary PPA repository keys.
