I have updatetd to

First the bases. What is the output of:
freebsd-version -kru

You updated, you wrote, not upgraded, is it exact?

Is internet connectivity working?
 
Look like connection issue, can you run it in debug mode with pkg -d update

Also you can check if the curl is able to fetch the meta file with:

curl https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf

If you want to verify if it's able to download the pkg list you can do it like this:
Code: 
cd ~
curl https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/data.pkg --output data.pkg

% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 7156k  100 7156k    0     0  4731k      0  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:-- 4730k

Then you can remove the downloaded data.pkg from your home directory.

Previously version was 13.2 I think

service ntpd stop
ntpdate 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org
service ntpd start

If the cmos battery on your motherboard is low voltage it cannot hold the cmos clock and after you shutdown and power on the computer (power lost) it's clock will be not correct. When the time difference between your cmos clock is greater than 1000s offset ntpd will refuse to change it at its initial startup. To force it to make the correction bigger than 1000s you can use "-g" flag for the ntpd in your rc.conf ntpd_flags="-g" so it can change the clock at it startup. Other way is to disable the ntpd so it can free the port 123 (ntp)) and then manually set the time using ntpdate command.

ntpd(8)

note:
if you don't have network at the startup ntpd will fail to sync the time.

Slightly cleaner would be to set ntpd_sync_on_start="YES". No huge deal, but avoids accidentally clobbering the default args.
 
rc.conf(5)
Code: 
       ntpd_sync_on_start
           (bool)  If  set  to "YES", ntpd(8) is run with the -g flag,
           which syncs the system's clock on startup.  See ntpd(8) for
           more    information regarding the -g option.  This is  a  pre-
           ferred  alternative    to  using ntpdate(8) or    specifying the
           ntpdate_enable variable.
