Today I encountered this.
[r720-01 dan ~] % sudo freebsd-update fetch install 14:39:01 Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 13.0-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. The update metadata is correctly signed, but failed an integrity check. Cowardly refusing to proceed any further.
I confirmed it was just the fetch portion.

Searching found no recent solutions for this set of versions.

I rebooted. Then it worked.

The expected results then appeared:

After a second reboot:
