Lou Massenberg and Tina Punzel of Germany took bronze at 301.62.
It was Keeney's second medal of the competition. She finished third in women's 3-meter springboard Friday.
Tom Daley and Grace Reid of Britain were fourth, two years after they earned silver in the event.
The American duo of Briadam Herrera and Maria Coburn was fifth.
China has a chance to win a 12th gold later Saturday in men's 10-meter platform, the final event of the meet.
