That sounds like an RDS problem, so you should be talking to Amazon
support.  But maybe see in "select * from
pg_available_extension_versions" if the versions their docco claims are
available, actually are.  Also, the fact that a version is available
does not automatically mean that an upgrade path exists; you may need to
do the upgrade in multiple jumps, for instance for pgAudit go from 1.4.3
to 1.6.2 first, then to 1.7.0 finally to 16.0.
