If they discovered that the key to the code was stored in another location, wouldn't a second warrant be appropriate?

I'd say no, but that happens all the time now.
example: law enforcement suspects criminal activity, based on information obtained by third party.
law enforcement gets warrant based on info, sieze items from home, take to lab, investigate.
Nothing substantial is found in that stack, so go ask for other warrant based on last info plus terrorism/national security, and add extra items to be siezed.
bring extra items back, find nothing.
get another warrant based on same for yet more items.
at some point, where do you label it a fishing expedition?
If you didn't find any evidence after the first time, you should be cut loose.
