Not related to your question, but this link has been updated. See

(package-refresh-contents) should be called every time if you tend to
install package non-interactively i.e. not using M-x list-packages. You
could have non-nil package-archive-contents but that value could be stale.
This could be the problem.

Also not related to the problem, you do not need both org and
org-plus-contrib. Just org-plus-contrib will suffice. See

Call package-refresh-contents unconditionally. That should fix the problem.
