Yes, 11.0-CURRENT is no longer supported.  11.0-RELEASE is what is now
supported.

Your freebsd-update command is failing because the freebsd update
servers don't understand '11.0-CURRENT' as a known release -- this was a
development version before 11.0-RELEASE came out.  Your best choices are
either to grab some install media from the FTP sites and install a new
11.0-RELEASE system, or to use svn or similar to grab up-to-date sources
and build yourself a newer system.  Almost certainly the former given
you have a rpi2.
