Yeah it appears to be trying to use v6 and has no v6 routes.

-d4 forces it to use v4 and debug output.

The fact it's just timing out implies it still cannot reach it.

What routes do you have there? You have a default gateway set that is a gateway group with only one gateway in it. Which is odd.
Check Diag > Routes (or netstat -rn at the cli) to be sure you actually have a default route. And that you don't have any rogue routes that might be matching the server address.

Still no router to host so either there is no route somehow or it's resolving to some IP that's incorrect.
Make sure it's actually resolving as expected:

[23.01-RELEASE][root@6100.stevew.lan]/root: host pfsense-plus-pkg00.atx.netgate.com
pfsense-plus-pkg00.atx.netgate.com has address 208.123.73.207

pfsense-plus-pkg01.atx.netgate.com has IPv6 address 2610:160:11:18::209

Then run it with -d4 to get debug output and test over IPv4.
