It does apply. I've let enemies capture the towers/destroy the cryopod in order to keep my key before and it worked fine.

You don't get to keep the key if you abort after the objective is complete (5 mins/5waves/1 round), but failing is fine.

Not sure why that's relevant though as I don't remember any excavation missions that need keys. And excavation/survival are pretty hard to fail once you've got a reward.
