It doesn't matter is Thunderbird shows the Key 'as Your own' even though
I suspect that what You're really saying is that this Key isn't
'highlighted' in bold black letters. If You can see this Key in Your
Keyring then just Import the Revocation Certificate into the Keyring.
This will 'Update' the Key with the Revocation Signature. Then, simply
Upload the 'revoked' Key to the Keyservers and You will have Revoked the
Key and published same.
