That is a bug dealing with expired keys, see
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2020-April/045306.html
(and the following thread). There are more details in the thread
starting here
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2020-February/044766.html
where this problem occurred the first time with contrib.texlive.info.


Basically you need to upgrade first with 
	update-tlmgr-latest.sh
(no other options please!) and after that the tlmgr will work.

Other than this, all you do looks fine. This is a peculiarity due to the
expired key.

Best

Norbert
