You are correct. It seems like a pointless action...but what if it was the other way around? What if this is the detonator's decision for the next person to give a key to?
Think about it - after what happened today, the detonator may find it risky to give out keys and be the only one who knows about it. So they send out a message: "this is the next person to be given a key."
