It shouldn't unless you've already changed all keys in the directory and haven't added some other. DConf just stores the values and doesn't read schemas. You can save there even keys which are not in the corresponding schema. dconf-editor access the schemas so it sees all the keys but this is necessary to allow users to change the values. Maybe the name of the app is misleading here, it should be probably named like gsettings-editor.
