I noticed that my server had a new version notification but PMS_Update.sh wasn't picking up the new version. After some digging I found the following information: https://forums.plex.tv/t/linux-download-link-is-still-for-1-14/372535/59
Summarized the relevant parts here for readability and posterity in case anything happens to that forum thread.

We are still working on a fix required for our website that talks to the downloads API (the json endpoint)In the mean time, if you have scripts that look for plexpass downloads via https://plex.tv/api/downloads/1.json?channel=plexpass you can simply use https://plex.tv/api/downloads/5.json?channel=plexpass instead. (be sure to provide your Plex Token in the header for the request, or as a parameter in the request)

1.json
is the old CI/build system (PMS 1.14.1 and older),5.json
is the new CI/build system (1.15.0 and newer)
Basically, the URL in PMS_Update.sh should be changed to 5.json. The change could happen any time starting now.
Updating the script to 5.json will work and the script will download and install 1.15. But looks like a few extra changes are going to be needed to get 1.15 to run correctly.

Yea, it looks like just unpacking the new download won't work anymore. I had to go back a version to get things playing again.
