Lord knows what the point of that link even is... I clicked on it only because "Raw" suggested that it would yield the "real" text/plain diff instead of a fancy HTML rendition.

I appreciate the offer, but a database would be overkill for my use case. I'm not in my company's IT department, and metamorphosing host keys on those 6000+ hosts are waaaay out of my purview. (I can't get too worked up over the security implications, either, since much worse than that is officially tolerated.)

If anything, the most I would do is put together a Perl script to merge an old and new known_hosts file, such that new entries override old ones, and old ones that don't have a newer replacement are kept.
